[Groff] Line width per cell of table.

[Doug Royer]

I know that the 'linesize' sets the line size for an entire table.

Is there a way to specify the line size for each cell? I have
read and re-read the docs and I do not see a way.

If there is not a way I was thinking of adding some code
to allow 'l' (ell) to specify the line size for a cell.
as in: '|l#' where '#' is used like the number value
for 'p' ([+/-]pont). And also allow it for _ and =

I need to make some of the lines wide, but not all of them.

Example: make the lines around the upper left
cell (1:1) be wide (bold) lines ('#' in the ASCII approximation
below).

Now:

        .TS                             ASCII approximation:
        expand linesize(20) tab(@);      +---+---+---+
        | c | c | c |                    |1:1|1:2|1:3|
        | c | c | c | .                  +---+---+---+
        address@hidden@_                            |2:1|2:2|2:3|
        1:address@hidden:address@hidden:3                      +---+---+---+
        address@hidden@_
        2:address@hidden:2:2:3
        address@hidden@_
        .TE

And be able to:

        .TS
        expand linesize(20) tab(@);     ASCII approximation:
        |l40 c |l40 c | c |              #####---+---+
        |    c |    c | c |              #1:2#1:2|1:3|
        address@hidden@_                         #####---+---+
        1:address@hidden:address@hidden:3                      |2:1|2:1|2:3|
        address@hidden@_                         +---+---+---+
        2:address@hidden:2:2:3
        address@hidden@_
        .TE
