Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't noticed!  The other places 
are mistaken, though.

‘Front-end’ is an adjective (‘a front-end component’), not a noun 
(‘the front end’).  Worse, it looks jarring.  Even GCC agrees[0] 
with me for once.

I've changed it to front-end just for consistency... for now ;-) 
and pushed to master as 83dee0e5b29dee75cffd5aa2a7748697eb73b036. 
If nobody objects I'll cherry-pick it to version-1.2.0 before the 
release.  That'll be the on-line manual for some time to come.

Thanks!

T G-R
