Follow-up Comment #1:
This ticket is essentially a request to revert the fix for bug #51468...which
was also filed by you.
Please consider making up your mind on this issue; you've been dithering over
it for fully ten years.

But regardless of your personal opinions, the status quo is one that keeps
historical man pages formatting correctly, and that fact weighs more heavily
to me. For AT&T man compatibility, the single-font macros' input traps do not
respect output line continuation with `\c`.
In practice you seldom need to follow a single-font macro with a font
alternation macro.
Rewrite
.TP
.B \-\-\~\c
.RI [ args ]
as
.TP
.BR \-\-\~ \c
.RI [ args ]
or
.TP
.BR \-\- \~\c
.RI [ args ]
...for instance.
There are many other possibilities.
Rejecting.
