Awkward wording in directory(3) man page



Currently, the compatability section says

	... The IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') standard does not
	however any more mandate that directory streams are necessarily
	implemented by using file descriptors. ...

That's really awkward for a native-Engilish speaker!  Perhaps it could
be better written as

	... The IEEE Std 1003.1-2008(``POSIX.1'') standard no longer
	mandates that directory streams be implemented by using file
	descriptors. ...
