Thanks, that's very welcome!  Consider to use a <variablelist> instead
of a table, though, since tables have the issue to easily overflow in
the manual when rendered with PhD.  Example usages of <variablelist> can
be seen on any function page, since the parameters are marked up as
such.  Nesting of <variablelist>s is properly supported by PhD.

Cheers,
Christoph
