    groff_me(7): Move roff macros into separate table.
    
    ...that is, the old roff(1) compatibility macros (from before Ossanna's
    "new roff", which appeared ~1973).  roff(1) stuck around beyond
    through Unix Version 7 in 1979, appearing in 2.9BSD and all the way
    through Tenth Edition Research Unix, possibly because it was smaller on
    memory-constrained machines and/or because AT&T/Western Electric
    licensed nroff and troff separately [at least to some customers] as the
    "Documenter's Workbench" product).
