Changes in v2 from the cover letter
* Added an Oxford comma (at least I think it is a stylistic one, not a required one, but then, all three people involved in the discussion are non-native speakers, so there).
* Added a patch to use a consistent style for function names.
* I now surround even more terms in backticks.
* I spotted and fixed a missing full stop, too.

Cover letter [PATCH v2 0/6] A couple of fixes for the Trace2 documentation
While verifying a suggestion for a contributor before sending it, I noticed that the Trace2 documentation contained an incorrect example. Looking around, I found a couple other things I wanted to fix, so here are the patches.
Note: This patch series is not intended to be perfectionist. I just want the result to be good enough, and move on to more important things.
Changes since v1:
* Added an Oxford comma (at least I think it is a stylistic one, not a required one, but then, all three people involved in the discussion are non-native speakers, so there).
* Added a patch to use a consistent style for function names.
* I now surround even more terms in backticks.
* I spotted and fixed a missing full stop, too.
