- .if n .ce in the middle of .TS data

While roff_parseln() prevents .ce and similar requests in the middle

of a tbl, the guard is no longer effective when the .ce is wrapped

in a roff block, for example a conditional. The resulting assertion

has never been seen in any real-world manual page.

This is too dangerous to fix before release because it requires

reorganizing the very delicate internals of roff_parseln(),

which risks causing more severe bugs.

delimiters, so it may need handling *after* roff.c rather than before.

Actually, more ASCII control characters than just 0x07 may need

later handling because they can for example be used in macro names.

So they may need handling after roff(7) processing.
