package implements its own bespoke type system to accompany its
bespoke macro processor; the type of a macro argument (a string
or macro) is determined by looking up its name as a _register_.
- mandoc(1) does not exhibit this problem, likely because it lacks
- a *roff formatter that defines both a `.T` register and a `.T`
- string; rather it simulates both of these.
+ mandoc(1) does not exhibit this problem because it does not use
+ roff(7) registers to distinguish mdoc(7) child macros from
+ plain-text macro arguments, so the .T register does not clash
+ with the .T predefined string in the way it did in
+ groff mdoc(7).
