Follow-up Comment #8, bug #67838 (group groff): [comment #7 comment #7:] > that's the objective of the now-closed-as-Duplicate bug #67082.
We seem to be reading that ticket through different lenses. To me, its
objective was fixing a couple of misdirected Prev/Next links in the manual,
both of which (and many others) are now covered by the patch here.

I'm not sure the manual should single out one macro package as the standard to
illustrate higher-level functions.
I don't claim my path to roff competency is typical or representative, but
starting with Allman's -me manual served me well before I ever needed to delve
into lower-level functions, and I'm sure the -ms manual can serve that purpose
apart from the Texinfo manual just as well as within it. In fact, for a long
time I found the -ms chapter to be clutter returning useless results when
searching the manual for something, until I learned to effectively excise it.
