In roff source, "-" is a hyphen and "\-" is a minus sign/dash. The
latter is needed for command line options; otherwise, copy-and-paste
will result in a Unicode hyphen character which will NOT have the
right semantics on the command line.

There's also a hyphen issue here.

Either write 0.0 or just 0, and 2.0 or just 2. 0. is very ambiguous in
an English sentence and looks like end-of-sentence. It's valid in code
but not in English, IMO..

.1 is less bad since it's not ambiguous, but 0.1 is a lot more
readable, especially if formatting the output for postscript or html
where there may be a variable-width font and the . might not be
noticed by itself (but the space it provides will be noticed with
0.1)..
