Subject: [man] groff_hdtbl.1.man: do not redefine global character names

file: contrib/hdtbl/groff_hdtbl.1.man

  It contains redefined default (global) characters:

.char \[lB] \F[\n[.fam]]\f[R][
.char \[rB] \F[\n[.fam]]\f[R]]
.
.char \[or] \F[\n[.fam]]\f[R]\||\|
[...]
.
.char \[oq] \F[\n[.fam]]\f[R]\[oq]
.char \[cq] \F[\n[.fam]]\f[R]\[cq]

and their removal

.rchar \[lB]
.rchar \[rB]
.rchar \[or]
[...]
.rchar \[oq]
.rchar \[cq]

  Local names should be used.

  Otherwise these changes can affect the output of input files that are
processed after "groff_hdtbl.7.man" and "groff_hdtbl.7" with the same
command (batch execution).

Example

test-groff -mandoc -t -z contrib/hdtbl/groff_hdtbl.7.man  man/groff.7.man


Output:

[...]
troff: backtrace: file './man/groff.7.man':584
troff:./man/groff.7.man:584: warning: special character 'or' not defined
