+ - .if n .ce in the middle of .TS data
+   afl case f1/id:000103,sig:06,src:009024+009105,op:splice,rep:2 (jes@)
+   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.

+ - wrong number of layout columns in tbl(7) code generated by -T man
+   https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57720
+   The reason likely is that tbl(7) does not support the -Bl -column
+   feature of not explicitly specifying the last table column.

+   loc *  exist *  algo *  size *  imp *
+   but watch out for regressions in the high-level parsers
+   maybe it should not even remove comments? - consider T{\"
+ - tag.c, tag_put() should not put ASCII_HYPH into the tag file,
+   which happens when the tag contains "-" on the input side
