#325 man: add support for application and package

[Daniel Leidert]

Two elements, which are useful besides the command
element are application and package. Especially package
is useful to mention distribution/upstream package.
IMHO possible and useful:

application: bold
package: bold or italic

For bold/ital character formatting of inlines, I typically
try to follow the handling in the HTML stylesheets. The
HTML stylesheets render Application and Package without
bold or italic, so I am reluctant to change the default
handling of them in the manpages stylesheets.

What I think we need instead is a generalized mechanism
for allowing you to override the default character
formatting for any particular element. So I have created
a new feature request for that -

Please post a comment there if you have any suggestions
or advice.

Ok. IMHO it makes sense to markup at least package. The
application element is not that important because in case of
refering to another application it is better style to use
the citerefentry element instead. But packages cannot be
referenced this way, but they appear in manpages. So it
would be nice to mark them in a special way (after some more
thinking about this, I would say, that italic is maybe the
best). *just my opninion*

I really like the idea you posted in
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1446310&group_id=21935&atid=373750.
So I will close this feature-request now (as rejected) and
better support your idea.
