Thanks for the reminder of another task for my GNU eqn(1) man page
rewrite queue:

*roff name space impact

When I rewrote the tbl(1) page I documented several more *roff symbol
names it employs.  Existing eqn documentation, even from AT&T, is
startlingly thin on this point.  It was years before I learned that it
was eqn that was putting `10` into the macro name space.  And just this
week I learned that it squats on `MK`, too.

Branden
