 - improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so  
   that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also

   - rendering frontend code can calculate widths only for plain strings,
     not for strings containing escape sequences.  For example, this
     hinders calculation of the indent required for .Nm \&[ in text(1).
