Not heretical at all, merely true, as Pierre-Jean's example
demonstrates.

How radically different is Heirloom troff's code from groff's?  Is
there anything in groff that would conflict with implementations of
.padj, .minss and .letadj?  Their absence, or the absence of
analogous requests, strikes me as a major stumbling block in groff.
