Follow-up Comment #8, bug #62825 (project groff):
Whoops, I didn't finish editing my reply.
[comment #7 comment #7:]
> I reckon what we can do is leave the existing header trap macro names in
place, but change them to just mark the vertical location with `mk`. The
footer trap can set its own mark, `rt` to the header, call the macro that
actually formats the header, then `rt` to its own place and proceed normally.

Pffft. I have no fear. Just call me "MR" progress.
