   - .ad (adjust margins)
     .ad l -- adjust left margin only (flush left)

     Adjustment mode is ignored while in no-fill mode (.nf).

   (1) fully implemented, or parsed and ignored without loss of content  
   (2) unimplemented, potentially causing loss of content

 - look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)

   roff stuff.  Figure out to what extent we can cope.
