Well... This seems like a useless rant but I didn't have the chance to
exercise groff current tty output capabilities with the new SGR escape

*Sigh! I probably did a useless rant. I figured out how to fix man's
configuration pretty quick. Yet, I do have a concern, most vendor unices
pager is 'more', no 'less'. And you can betcha 'more' can't grok SGR codes.
And my concern about terminal emulators and, additionally, curses libaries,
stands.
