Follow-up Comment #9, bug #67955 (group groff):

The last couple of comments focused on details.  Stepping back a bit, I think
the fatal flaw of this ticket is that its central claim rests on an
unwarranted presumption.

The central claim is that a line of a test script is superfluous.  But a test
script is allowed to use groff input that more closely reflects real-world
input than only the bare bones necessary to test the thing being tested.  The
string "Dios mio!" in this script is also superfluous, in the sense that the
thing being tested can be tested without it.  This ticket seems to presume a
requirement (or at least a goal) that test scripts be as minimal as possible.
