+- .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
+  would have to point to the same wrapper as the original.
+  .als to undefined does nothing; the alias is not created.
+  .rm'ing the original leaves the alias to point to the old value.
+  .de .als .de changes both, but
+  .de .als .rm .de only changes the new value, not the alias.

-- 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
