The file picapoints.1 viewed with
M-x woman-find-file picapoints.1
gives
12 point spacing xxx
12 picas spacing xxx
where I expected that "12p" points would be much less than "12P" picas,
something like maybe
12 point spacing xxx
12 picas spacing xxx
It looks like case-fold-search is true in woman-parse-numeric-value
causing "p" points and "P" picas not to be distinguished.
I can't tell if that's meant to be so. There seems to be duelling
`let's of case significance. Ensuring it where it matters per diff
below might be a good idea.

* woman.el (woman-parse-numeric-value): case-fold-search nil to ensure
"p" points and "P" picas scaling are distinguished as intended.
I struck this on output from recent perl pod2man where there's some
spacing to make "C++" look good, per cplusplus.1 below. It's meant for
troff, but when woman wrongly takes it as 1 pica instead of 1 point the
movement forward and back doesn't add up and a space after the construct
is lost, so giving
Blah C^++blah.
With case-significance fixed it becomes the intended
Blah C^++ blah.
