Hmm, yes, then it would break `pso` and `pi` requests as well, then. However, those requests do not have a major impact on our build. Apart from a handful of automated scripts that test the foregoing requests, only a couple of hdtbl and mom(7) examples, and the `PDFPIC` macro, require unsafe mode. While it's too much fuss and bother for groff 1.25.0, longer term I think I'd prefer to work around that difficulty in "test-groff.in" and any test scripts and Makefile recipes requiring a "full" $PATH; in exchange we'd get a more deterministic build of our documentary artifacts--which the reproducible builds movement may appreciate--and greater sensitivity to a botched generation procedure for said artifacts. What do you think? Regards, Branden
