[Groff] intermediate output command `F'

Gaius,


I know that the intermediate output command `F' is no longer used by
grohtml, and I wonder how it can be converted to something useful.

Currently, `F <filename>' is emitted as soon as a file is read by
troff, but there is no indication that a file has been finished.  I
suggest to implement two things

  . A new request `.file <name>' to give a name to the current file.

  . The output command `F' without a parameter should pop the current
    filename off from the filename stack (which doesn't exist yet).

Comments, please.  If you think that it is not worth the effort, I
will drop the `F' command completely.

BTW, Bernd has added support for `F' in his reimplementation of the
output parser.


    Werner
