Maybe this could provoke clashes with other concepts.  For example,
I'm about to write a macro package for the Gutenberg project.
I wouldn't call the macro's man-page gutenberg.7, because such a
document should describe the project directly.  Possibly, there will
be a TeX macro package as well, etc.

Maybe, groff shouldn't conquer the name space.
