Update of bug #67260 (group groff):
Status: None => Rejected
Assigned to: None => gbranden
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
`OP` is a deprecated macro.
_groff_man_(7):
.OP option‐name [option‐argument]
[...]
Use of this quasi‐semantic macro, an extension originating
in Documenter’s Workbench troff, is deprecated. It cannot
easily be used to annotate options that take optional
arguments or options whose arguments have internal
structure (such as a mixture of literal and variable
components). One could work around these limitations with
font selection escape sequences, but it is preferable to
use font style alternation macros, which afford greater
flexibility.
It is little-used in the field, I don't plan its further development, oppose
doing so, and barring the emergence of strong consensus in favor of it on the
_groff_ list or the broader community.
Closing as rejected.
