stty(1) suggestion



In the "Combination modes" section, the "columns" and "cols" modes are
described in the following manner:

     columns number
                 The terminal size is recorded as having number columns.

     cols number
                 is an alias for columns.

I suggest either placing the two together, so it appears like this:

     columns number
     cols number
                 The terminal size is recorded as having number columns.

or completing the sentence in the "cols" description.

     cols number
                 This is an alias for columns.

Both nitpick patches are attached.
