We don't religiously stick to the list of sections in mdoc.samples,
but I think "OUTPUT" is stretching it beyound reasonable.

Plain words as an argument to -width is almost always a bad idea.
This is bound to look wrong for PostScript output where words in
proportional fonts have different widths.  Also tags should almost
always be marked up somehow (.Sy or .Li in this case, I'd guess), even
if things look the same in plain text.  Please, always check how your
man pages look when formatted with groff -Tps (don't use mandoc ps
output - last time I checked it was horrible; use ps2pdf to
postprocess for comfortable viewing if necessary).
