is not -- a lot of GNU extensions exist.  Point that out in the intro.

60457d8a25 manual: delete nested @cartouche
Putting @cartouche inside of @smallexample does not work with HTML output
as the former produces a <table> while the latter produces a <pre>.  You
cannot nest a <table> in a <pre> as the contents are no longer formatted.

Since it's entirely unnecessary, and none of the other examples do this,
just drop the cartouche.

d9dc34cd56 Manual for platform-specific features and new __ppc_get_timebase inline.
[BZ #13743]
A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level
platform-specific functionality.  PowerPC added the first instance with a
function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase).  This
is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with
high precision that can't afford a syscall.
