Update of bug #63158 (group groff):

                 Summary: [ms] consider exposing internal register `nh*hl` as
`HL` or similar => [ms] expose internal register `nh*hl` as `HDEPTH`

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

I finally thought of an API name I like for this: HDEPTH.

I didn't want to use a two-letter register name because that might imply some
degree of AT&T compatibility; _groff ms_ extension registers (without
exception?) have long names.
