- fix bad block nesting involving multiple identical explicit blocks

see the OpenBSD mdoc_macro.c 1.47 commit message

- we need real .ds; for example, terminfo.3 has

.ds n 5

and then later

\fBterminfo\fR(\*n)

reported orally by halex@ during c2k10

- \*(Pu is not implemented, but used in mdoc.samples

implementing .ds would solve this as well

- .Bl -column .Xo support is missing

ultimate goal:

restore .Xr and .Dv to

- indentation got lost in SYNOPSIS, e.g.

SYNOPSIS

date [-ajnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t minutes_west] [+format]

- [[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.SS]]

+ [[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.SS]]

- empty phrases in .Bl column produce too few blanks

try e.g. .Bl -column It Ta Ta

Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are

- improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so

that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also

reduces code size and complexity):

`Bl -column' pointer

- improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance)

- improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)

************************************************************************

* structural issues

************************************************************************

- The regs.h functionality and the roff_getstrn() family should be moved

into mandoc.c, which should be accessable by libroff, libmdoc, and

libman. Right now there's pollution between these libraries.
