   - .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.

   - mandoc replaces all ASCII control characters except tab and line feed
     with '?' during input.  It would be better to replace them with
     Unicode escapes in preconv_encode() or somewhere in the vicinity,
     such that the already existing better replacement strings show
     up in the output.  Emulating groff is not desirable: groff replaces
     0x00, 0x0b, and 0x0d to 0x1f with the empty string (bad because
     that's easy to overlook for the document author), 0x01 with '.'
     (very confusing), and passes through 0x02 to 0x08, 0x0c, and 0x7f
     raw (bad because that is insecure output).  Remember that 0x07 may
     need special handling because it is sometimes used for certain
     delimiters, so it may need handling *after* roff.c rather than before.
     reminded by John Gardner 16 Jun 2020 14:26:28 +1000
     Actually, more ASCII control characters than just 0x07 may need
     later handling because they can for example be used in macro names.
     So they may need handling after roff(7) processing.
