You could mention the names of the complex targets, but please don't try to
document them in this man page as it would make it far too long and it's a
distraction because dmsetup just passes its input lines through untouched at
the moment so the formats are not anything to do with 'man dmsetup'.

Refer people to Documentation/device-mapper and concentrate on improving that
documentation.

(We should really be packaging that in /usr/share/doc actually until we have
proper section 4 man pages written.)
