It definitely wasn't, and i can't remember that there were any
examples that used this notation (though i haven't read the entire
manual from the first to the last page -- and most likely
i wouldn't have dared to use the notation regardless).
And i definitely didn't think about *roff implementation details
once i've wrote my letter macros; they work fine with GNU troff.

You seem to be right anyway; the nroff sitting in the Heirloom
project doctools can also handle the code snippet from my previous
mail correctly.
