I'll respond to this point in bug #40720, since it has no bearing on the
resolution of _this_ ticket: militant consistency in the type GNU _troff_ uses
for its internal representation of a character code (be that `unsigned char`
or `char *`, or something else), is desirable for consistency and avoidance of
tricky bugs like signedness mismatch, and necessary for any revision of that
type.
