Rework the documentation of Spaces, using the Ossanna/Kernighan/Ritter
Heirloom Nroff/Troff User's Manual at the authoritative reference. Part of our text was outright wrong. Also, refrain from advertising the paddable non-breaking space `\~' in the DESCRIPTION, for three reasons: For nroff mode, -Tascii, and fixed width fonts in general, it makes no difference, so keep the discussion simple. Compared to `\ ', '\~' is of questionable portability. And if you want to keep words together, it is also more usual that you don't want padding to intervene either. Finally, drop the `\c' escape sequence (interrupt text processing) which is not a special character but an input processing instruction akin to the \<newline> escape sequence.
