Some months ago, there was a discussion on the renaming of `.nop' into
`.text'. This would not be justified because an argument wtarting with
a dot/apostroph will be executed as a macro.
To define a real text macro there must be a way to provide a syntactical
"nothing". Some escapes produce nothing in the output because they
define additional semantical elements. How about the following?
.de text
. nop \{\}\$*
..
Is this clean?
