Update of bug #68510 (group groff):

                 Summary: Regression: cflags no longer works when given both a
character class and a defined character => Regression: cflags honors only the
first character parameter

Follow-up Comment #2:

Nope, I'm wrong.  It's much simpler than all that.  .cflags is simply ignoring
every character parameter after the first.

$ cat flags
.cflags 32 & % $
.
Foo.&
Bar.%
Baz.$
Bat.
$ groff-1.24 -Tascii flags | head -1; groff-latest -Tascii flags | head -1
Foo.&  Bar.%  Baz.$  Bat.
Foo.&  Bar.% Baz.$ Bat.

Change the order of the characters passed to .cflags, and you'll see that in
git-HEAD groff, whichever one is first is honored, and the rest are not.  In
1.24.0, all are honored.
