Hi, This is getting off-topic. Groff uses a limited form of C++, thus it's still approachable by C programmers. If it starts becoming more C++ and less C then it will lose that possible pool. I think it's widely accepted that C++ is a large complex sprawling language that few understand completely. Like Perl's "there's more than one way to do it", but on a larger scale, an author sticks to the subset they know and prefer and it's up to the readers to be able to grok it, or "re-factor" it into their own subset.
Let's not go there. Cheers, Ralph.
