Oh my god, II.
somewhat is a typo here, Ingo.
My humble opinion, luckily out-of-project.
The day the existence of the additional mandoc page starts
documenting a different language is the day that would have become
a problem.
Why only voidlinux? What about all other humans of all sex and
colour who are main and everywhere not master and slave and
upstream / downstream? That is sheer anarchy!
I think mdoc(7) is a roff macro package, with the potential to use
all roff commands, and therefore it belongs into roff software.
