I want to do this since years, but there are always more important
things to do :-( Reason is that I'm involved in more than a single
project...

Any volunteer to start?  It would already be of great help if someone
takes src/roff/groff/input.cpp and replaces the relevant `char' and
`int' with a new typedef `Char' or something similar to indicate that
the variable represents an input character.  Later on `Char' can be
completely widened to a signed 32bit entity which easily covers the
complete Unicode range.  Internal character codes (like
ESCAPE_AMPERSAND) then simply get negative values.
