      Update reference documentation on may/can/might: · e81c138e
      Bruce Momjian authored
      Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
      
              may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
      
              can - ability, "I can lift that log."
      
              might - possibility, "It might rain today."
      
      Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
      in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
      choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
