Title:
  man ln doesn't show 2nd 3rd and 4th forms

Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The SYNOPSIS in `man ln` is missing the 4 forms referenced in EXTRA.

  $ lsb_release -rd

  # Expected behavior

  I should see 4 lines matching `ln`’s output:

         ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME
         ln [OPTION]... TARGET
         ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
         ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET...

  Perhaps plus the options. Alternatively, edit the EXTRA section to not
  mention numbers 1–4.

  # Actual behavior

  NAME
         ln - Make links between files.

  SYNOPSIS
         ln [--backup] [-b ] [-f|--force] [-i|--interactive] [-n|--no-dereference] [-L|--logical] [-P|--physical] [-s|--symbolic] [-S|--suffix] [-t|--target-directory] [-T|--no-target-direc‐
         tory] [-r|--relative] [-v|--verbose] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <files>

  DESCRIPTION
         Make links between files.

  OPTIONS
  [...]

  EXTRA
         In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME.  In the 2nd form, create a link to TARGET in the current directory.  In the 3rd and 4th forms, create links to each
         TARGET  in  DIRECTORY.   Create hard links by default, symbolic links with --symbolic.  By default, each destination (name of new link) should not already exist.  When creating hard
         links, each TARGET must exist. Symbolic links can hold arbitrary text; if later resolved, a relative link is interpreted in relation to its parent directory.
