                     26:   as a macro argument, identical to \ i.e. escaping the next character
                     27:   We do not have macro definitions yet; if we implement them,
                     28:   \\ must behave in a macro def like in a macro argument,
                     29:   and when using the macro, it must expand yet again.

                     35:   These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level
                     36:   roff stuff.  Figure out to what extent we can cope.
