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

- 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.

side effects before implementing; if it is possible,

it does seem cleaner.)

- .IP wants vertical spacing before itself;

currently, it is formatted like .Bl -compact.

Fixing this requires getting rid of the "float"

in the CSS for .Bl-tag first.

- format multiple subsequent .IP as a single list

rather than opening a new list for each item

- When a man(1) command returns no result and there was an -S

argument, check the -S argument against the list of valid

architectures and say "Unknown architecture AAA" rather than

"No entry for NNN in the manual" if there is no match.

Requires moving the lists of valid architectures out of

mdoc_validate.c such that they can be used by main.c.

Discussed with jmc@ 10 Aug 2018 19:20:12 +0100.

- .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...
