+- .als only works for macros in mandoc, not for user-defined strings.
+  Also, the "val" field in struct roffkv would have to be replaced
+  with a pointer to a reference-counted wrapper, and an alias

+  .als to undefined does nothing; the alias is not created.

+  .de .als .rm .de only changes the new value, not the alias.
