in the same way as groff:
* \\ is always reduced to \
* \. is always reduced to .
* other undefined escape sequences are usually reduced to the escape name,
for example \G to G, except during the expansion of expanding escape
sequences having the standard argument form (in particular \* and \n),
in which case the backslash is preserved literally.
Yes, this is confusing indeed.
For example, the following have the same meaning:
* .ds \. and .ds . which is not the same as .ds \\.
* \*[\.] and \*[.] which is not the same as \*[\\.]
* .ds \G and .ds G which is not the same as .ds \\G
* \*[\G] and \*[\\G] which is not the same as \*[G] <- sic!
To feel less dirty, have a leaning toothpick, if you are so inclined.
This patch also slightly improves the string shown by the "escaped
character not allowed in a name" error message.

and audit all its callers whether termination is handled correctly.
Resulting improvements:
* An escape or tab ending the macro name in a macro invocation
is discarded, and argument processing is started after it.
* An escape or tab ending a name in ".if d" and ".if r" is preserved.
* An escape ending a name in ".ds" causes the whole request to be ignored.
* A tab ending a name in ".ds" becomes part of the string.
* An escape or tab ending a name in ".rm"
causes the rest of the line to be ignored.
* An escape or tab ending the first name in ".als", ".rn", or ".nr"
causes the whole request to be ignored.
Kurt Jaeger <pi at FreeBSD> made me aware of
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235456#c0
and in that bug report, comment 0 item (3) is a special case
of this class of issues.
Yes, the "mh" manual pages are no doubt among the worst on the planet.

With roff_getstrn(), provide finer control which definitions
can be used for what:
* All definitions can be used for .if d tests and .am appending.
* User-defined for \* expansion, .dei expansion, and macro calling.
* Predefined for \* expansion.
* Standard macros, original or renamed, for macro calling.
Several related improvements while here:
* Do not return string table entries that have explicitly been removed.
* Do not create a rentab entry when trying to rename a non-existent macro.
* Clear an existing rentab entry when the external interface
roff_setstr() is called with its name.
* Avoid trailing blanks in macro lines generated from renamed
and from aliased macros.
* Delete the duplicate __m*_reserved[] tables, just use roff_name[].
