Mmm, true.  You'd think I would remember ssl_required:, after

Pretty much everybody seems overwhelmed by readers.conf and just pounds on
the example one until it works.  We'll need to provide something sensible
in the examples for this.

I'm not sure what's particularly wrong with the manpage, but clearly
something is.)
