Returning to Doug's aim, does avoiding using a literal comma suffice?

    $ cat eqn.tr
    .EQ
    define f % $1 %
    f("a\N'44'b")
    .EN
    $
    $ eqn -Tascii eqn.tr | troff -Tascii | grotty -c | grep .
    a,b
    $
    $ eqn -Tascii eqn.tr | grep -w 10
    .ds 10
    .ds 10
    .as1 10 \&\E*[0sfont]\f[I]\s'\En[0ssize]u'a\N'44'b\E*[0rfont]
    .if !\n[0x] .if \n[0h0]>85M .as1 10 \x'-(\n[0h0]u-85M)'
    .if !\n[0x] .if \n[0d0]>35M .as1 10 \x'\n[0d0]u-35M'
    \*(10
    $
