Follow-up Comment #15, bug #68133 (group groff): commit 64a21429b2e7cbcd71b9e3f78e22008176f25729 Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]> Date: Sun May 24 22:37:00 2026 -0500 [troff]: Annotate unusual request handlers. The syntax of a handful of requests is such that their operands are individual charcters, and therefore those individual characters _can_[1], but _need not_ be separated by spaces as request arguments normally must be. [1] Except for `tr`, which was a toybox of unspecified, undocumented behaviors drafted into service as clever tricks by AT&T troff users.
