Comment:

 This was wrapped into the change from `mkUserGuidePart` to Sphinx based
 generation. Tables
 are manually sized in `flags.rst`, but even still it's not perfect. LaTeX
 can't break flags like `-XGeneralizedNewtypeDeriving`, which means that
 the sum of the minimum column widths is larger than the width of the line.
 I believe there aren't any egregious overlaps remaining, but some flags do
 spill out of their cells. Column widths are set in a percentage format
 that looks like `|\Y{20}|\Y{40}|\Y{10}|\Y{30}|`, which is reasonably
 amenable to change.
