[erlang-bugs] inet:setops manual: {priority, Integer} is documented twice

[Loïc Hoguin]

In that spirit, more options are duplicate in the SSL manual:

man ssl

Section SSL OPTION DESCRIPTIONS - SERVER SIDE

{psk_identity, string()}
Specifies the server identity hint the server presents to the client.
{log_alert, boolean()}
If false, error reports will not be displayed.
{honor_cipher_order, boolean()}
If true, use the server's preference for cipher selection. If false (the 
default), use the client's preference.

Description differs very little this time though.
