This would be a good question to take to the groff list, where there are
many veteran *roff users who might be able to present sensible
rationales.
I know that for other requests, I sometimes want to "schedule" something
to take place when the next break happens without actually _causing_ a
break. I haven't thought carefully through enough scenarios to decide
that this would never be the case with `ne`.
