Oops!  I thought of `groff control characters', sorry.

Here a complete list of punctuation characters which are handled
specially by mdoc (this is, if an mdoc macro sees a single character
of this list as an argument):

  . , : ; ( ) [ ] ? !

To suppress special handling, add `\&' as a postfix, e.g. `?\&'.

Ruslan, can you document this better in groff_mdoc.man?
