>Description:
The synopsis for the el_deletestr function in the editline(3) manpage is:

void el_deletestr(EditLine *e, int count);

However, the description section states:

Delete num characters before the cursor.

Either "count" or "num" should be used as a variable name, not both.
>How-To-Repeat:
man el_deletestr
>Fix:
"num characters" sounds better (and there is a precedent in src/lib/libedit/chared.c), so:
