> To properly simulate nroff functionality, you should amend that alias to
include the -mtty-char option, which nroff.sh adds unconditionally to its

need for this addition.)
Fair point. I didn't mention it because I don't ever use it myself, and I am
in fact somewhat uneasy with the way this feature is presented.
It feels to me more like the alternation of renderings as "tty-char" does
should be controlled by a device-specific register instead of by selective
load of a macro package that _nroff_ defaults to performing. The latter
technique messes up _nroff_'s orthogonality, in my opinion.
