Details:
Consider the following:
.TS
center doublebox;
c | c, c | c.
foo1 foo2
=
bar baz
.TE
It is rendered like so with nroff:
┌────────────┐
┌─────┬──────┐
│foo1 │ foo2 │
├─────┼──────┤
│bar │ baz │
└─────┴──────┘
└────────────┘
Or in -Tascii:
+------------+
+-----+------+
|foo1 | foo2 |
+-----+------+
|bar | baz |
+-----+------+
+------------+
It would make more sense to render it as (in Unicode):
╔═════╤══════╗
║foo1 │ foo2 ║
╟─────┼──────╢
║bar │ baz ║
╚═════╧══════╝
and (in ASCII):
+=====+======+
|foo1 | foo2 |
+-----+------+
|bar | baz |
+=====+======+
These are closer to the typeset output and look nicer in a terminal.
