`@itemx'
--------

  Use the `@itemx' command inside a table when you have two or more
first column entries for the same item, each of which should appear on a
line of its own.  Use `@itemx' for all but the first entry; `@itemx'
should always follow an `@item' command.  The `@itemx' command works
exactly like `@item' except that it does not generate extra vertical
space above the first column text.

  For example,

     @table @code
     @item upcase
     @itemx downcase
     These two functions accept a character or a string as
     argument, and return the corresponding upper case (lower
     case) character or string.
     @end table

This produces:

`upcase'
`downcase'
     These two functions accept a character or a string as argument,
     and return the corresponding upper case (lower case) character or
     string.

(Note also that this example illustrates multi-line supporting text in
a two-column table.)
