Hmm, yes, then it would break `pso` and `pi` requests as well, then.

However, those requests do not have a major impact on our build.

Apart from a handful of automated scripts that test the foregoing
requests, only a couple of hdtbl and mom(7) examples, and the `PDFPIC`
macro, require unsafe mode.

While it's too much fuss and bother for groff 1.25.0, longer term I
think I'd prefer to work around that difficulty in "test-groff.in" and
any test scripts and Makefile recipes requiring a "full" $PATH; in
exchange we'd get a more deterministic build of our documentary
artifacts--which the reproducible builds movement may appreciate--and
greater sensitivity to a botched generation procedure for said
artifacts.

What do you think?

Branden
