   .ds n 5    see the OpenBSD mdoc_macro.c 1.47 commit message

 - \*(Pu is not implemented, but used in mdoc.samples  
   implementing .ds would solve this as well

 - URGENT, this is making many kernel manuals look bad:  
   .Ft/.Fn should MAYBE behave in custom section like in SYNOPSIS?

   lines containing blank characters, and nothing else,

   groff outputs just blank lines "\n"

   - The regs.h functionality and the roff_getstrn() family should be moved
     into mandoc.c, which should be accessable by libroff, libmdoc, and
     libman.  Right now there's pollution between these libraries.
