In pic 1.23.0 string comparison doesn't work at the top level of print.
These  statements are accepted
      x = "a"=="a"
      print ("a"=="a")
This is not accepted
      print "a"=="a"

I don't see this mentioned in
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/NEWS. Should I
file a bug report?

Puzzlingly, the NEWS file dubs several features that were already in
pic 1.23.0 as "new". The NEWS doesn't actually say which version it
pertains to.
