Please nominate NEWS items for the 1.23 release announcement

Hi folks,

The 1.23 section of the groff "NEWS" file is about 560 lines long.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/NEWS

Some people won't read 500+ lines of text to decide if the new groff
release interests them, so I'd like to hear your nominations for the
items you consider most important, whether they're cool new features or
frustrating backward-incompatible changes to be warned about, so that
the 1.23(.0.rc2) announcement can fairly characterize the release.

Also, if you notice something that's flat out _missing_ from the NEWS
file, please say so, and note whether that item also passes the "Twitter
test" of noteworthiness.  (There's no way we'll fit into 160 characters,
of course.)  Remember that "bug fixes" (in sense of the remedies for
software defects) are not considered "news" in the GNU sense.
Approximately, anything in the Savannah item group "Feature change" is.

Here is a Savannah ticket tracker query URL showing all Closed, Fixed,
Feature change items with a planned release in 1.23.0.

Thanks in advance!
