Hmm...  It might be a subtle point, but mom already compensates for
it any time \D't n' is used to set line weight in a macro.  Equally,
the macros for drawing vertical rules, rectangles and ellipses
always have their depth saved and added to \n[dn] if they are the
last macro called before completing a diversion.  Not sure how
germane this is but I thought I should mention it.
