Agreed.

And my default of reaching for nroff to test isn't great because its
240 units per inch breaks down into 24 per em *and* 24 per en.

Also, setting the line length with .ll applies rounding to devascii's
‘hor’ that is 24, the same as an em's units, so rounding issues with the
division don't show up.
