    groff_man*(7): Document `LS`, `LE` interaction.
    
    ...with other features.
    
    * tmac/groff_man.7.man.in (Paragraphing macros)
      (Horizontal and vertical spacing): Note potential impact.
    
      (List enclosure macros) [style]: Add example.
    
      (Deprecated features) <AT, UC>: Employ `LS` and `LE` for compaction.
    
    Also favor active voice over passive.
    
    Also apply `ne` request within paragraphs suffering from end-stranding.
