--- missing man features -----------------------------------------------

- .SY and .YS,

used by many groff manual pages

- preserve punctuation following .ME,

see ditroff(7) for an example

- .TQ tagged paragraph continuation,

see groff_diff(7) for examples

- groff_www(7) .MTO and .URL

These macros were used by the GNU grep(1) man page.

The groff_www(7) manual page itself uses them, too.

We should probably *not* add them to mandoc.

Just mentioning this here to keep track of the abuse.

- .Cd # arch1, arch2 in section 4 pages:

find better way to indicate multiple architectures, maybe:

allow .Dt vgafb 4 "macppc sparc64"

already shown as "Device Drivers Manual (macppc sparc64)"

for apropos, make that "vgafb(4) - macppc # sparc64" instead of "- all"

groff can be made to show multiple arches, too, but it is

tedious to do the string parsing in roff code...
