commit cbfd7b40379054c456bdeffb3004af5154503da0
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>

[troff]: Asciify `\ ` as space, not ESCAPE_SPACE.
* src/roff/troff/node.cpp (space_char_hmotion_node::asciify): Asciify
a space character horizontal motion node (the kind produced by the
`\ ` unadjustable space escape sequence) as an ordinary space instead
of an `ESCAPE_SPACE` token. The latter is not necessary for the
`asciify` request's revised charter (and only known application to
date) of making diversion contents fit for use as device extension
command arguments.
