- explicit blocks with missing end macro should be implicitely closed
at the end of the enclosing block, e.g. .Bl It (El) Sh

- .Bl -column .Xo support is missing
ultimate goal:
restore .Xr and .Dv to
lib/libc/compat-43/sigvec.3
lib/libc/gen/signal.3
lib/libc/sys/sigaction.2
- .Bk / .Ek is broken, e.g.
$ man ssh
[...]
ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D
[bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11]

- man(7) .TH should recognize "3p" as a section number
found in usr.bin/pkg_add OpenBSD::Getopt
- implement \\
in plain text, identical to \e
as a macro argument, identical to \ i.e. escaping the next character
We do not have macro definitions yet; if we implement them,
\\ must behave in a macro def like in a macro argument,
and when using the macro, it must expand yet again.
- look at bsd.lv tbl(1)

- look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)
These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level
roff stuff. Figure out to what extent we can cope.

- do not break the line after "--", it's probably a long option

- URGENT, this is making many kernel manuals look bad:
.Ft/.Fn should MAYBE behave in custom section like in SYNOPSIS?
autoconf.9:
.Sh DIRECT CONFIGURATION
.nr nS 1
.Ft "struct device *"
.Fn config_found_sm "struct device *parent"
groff:
DIRECT CONFIGURATION
struct device *
config_found_sm(struct device *parent, ...

* formatting issues: gratuitious differences
************************************************************************
- lines containing blank characters, and nothing else,
in literal context (.Bd -literal):
groff outputs just blank lines "\n"
mandoc outputs blanks to the left margin,
then the number of balnks minus one
************************************************************************
* parser errors without any effect on formatting
************************************************************************
- OpenBSD::PackageName(3p) has "if (block) 90:1" in the parse tree
