Follow-up Comment #1:
I'm rejecting this one because I think having full paths in the man pages is
useful.
The page-local .Tp macros were ugly; however, I got rid of them back in June
with a commit specific to that purpose:

man pages: Stop using .TP for ersatz tables.
Remove gratuitous calculated indent setting and page-local macro ("Tp")
often used to facilitate it. The pages that use this trick do it as a
way to simulate a 2-column table.
This is a generalization of the fix to Savannah #53797, in which Bjarni
Ingli Gislason noted one instance in refer(1).
Impact on nroff output with 80 columns:
man/groff_font.5:
* All 3 items in the list of additional font file commands are
consistently rendered with a hanging tag (before, none were).
src/preproc/eqn/eqn.1:
* Use a 2-column tbl(1) table to describe component types. (Looks good
in -Tpdf as well.) I also recast some wording that confused me, after
consulting src/preproc/eqn/text.cpp to check my understanding.
src/preproc/refer/refer.1:
* All items in the list of refer commends now have a hanging tag (some
did before, but the overall indent was much farther to the right).
* File paragraphs in the FILES section now have mixed hangs.
src/roff/troff/troff.1:
* Flag paragraphs in the OPTIONS section how have mixed hangs.
src/utils/indxbib/indxbib.1:
src/utils/lkbib/lkbib.1:
src/utils/lookbib/lookbib.1:
* File paragraphs in the FILES section now have mixed hangs.
man/groff_font.5:
src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.1:
src/devices/grops/grops.1:
src/preproc/grn/grn.1:
src/preproc/pic/pic.1:
src/utils/tfmtodit/tfmtodit.1:
* No visible impact.
