$OFS is conceptually a preference variable.

It isn't automatic in the sense that PS defines it automatically. While it does have an implied default value, it is not predefined by PS as a variable.

Therefore, $OFS should be documented in about_Preference_Variables only and therefore be removed from about_Automatic_Variables.

Given that the about_Automatic_Variables description of $OFS is more detailed, it should probably replace the one in about_Preference_Variables.
