GNU _troff_ is pretty good about making its read-only register extensions
correspond to the names of the requests that affect them, and added several
corresponding to AT&T _troff_ request names.
`.zoom` is a conspicuous exception, and the only one I know of at this
writing.
We could rename it for consistency, `aln`-alias it with the old name in the
stock _troffrc_, and kill it off later (applicable release + 2 years?).
