Follow-up Comment #2, bug #61025 (project groff):
[comment #1 comment #1:]
> I propose to add a new me(7) Boolean-valued register, $x, to enable this
behavior, and to switch it off by default.
This plan didn't quite survive contact with the enemy--the enemy being our
(groff's) `@R` macro which initializes registers, but only to zero, and also
the fact that it was the only outright _Boolean_ that we would have been
exposing via the register interface.
So $x is the amount of space by which to increase the line height instead.
This has the advantage of parameterizing a rendering factor that a hard-coded
literal before. (If you wanted a different adjustment, you had to redefine
the super/subscripting strings.)
For backward-compatibility purists, this approach also has the advantage of
not changing how documents render.
I'm adding `.nr $x 0` to our in-tree me(7) documents, though.
