Follow-up Comment #2, bug #62691 (project groff):

Would this be a new .tr-like request that would define per-environment
character translations, or are you looking to alter the behavior of the
existing (three) .tr(s)?  'Cause I can see how someone might be dismayed by
the results in your example, but I can also see how someone might want the
translation to be global.  Consider a user who finds \[oq] and \[cq] both
clunky to type and ugly in text, and also knows they'll never use curly braces
in their document.  They'd likely want a mapping of the latter to the former
to apply everywhere.


.tr {\[oq]}\[cq]
.ev title
.tl ''The {header}''
.ev
This is in {single quotes.}
