Subject: Replace archaic \*(Lt and \*(Gt by plain < and >, respectively,
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f78eea63cb60899c88ee243c20e1a106da264443;p=openbsd

Replace archaic \*(Lt and \*(Gt by plain < and >, respectively,
because these inspire devotion to cargo cult in developers.
Cleanup suggested by kn@.
