a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

e6767a3205 Final markup for 7.1 hardcopy release. Mostly typo and table-fitting
adjustments. Note that many tables are being abused with *really* long

 concise, and move some of the info to follow-on reference notes.
