In order to harmonize the manual, in some places there was a dollar
before and other place did not have that dollar.

Made the choice to remove the dollar in order to facilitate copy/paste
from the manual.

Well, I actually prefer when there is a dollar. It makes it rather
obvious this is a comman to type, as opposed to the output of a
command. For us long-bearded old-timers, it is just obvious. ;-)

That's a standard practice, used for example in (POSIX-related?) man
pages.

I agree that we mst be consistent throughtout the manual, but I'd prefer
we choose the other consistency. ;-)

However, I won't be blindly supporting my position, so in case the
maintainers prefer without $, this still gets my:

I agree with Yann here: I do prefer to have the $ sign to clearly
indicate that it's a shell command. So I've marked your patches 8 and 9
as rejected in patchwork.
