Subject: [bug #60731] undocumented difference in .ce behavior between groff and traditional troff

Update of bug #60731 (project groff):

              Item Group:     Incorrect behaviour => Documentation

Follow-up Comment #2:

> presumably it's a sprinkle of DWIM behavior for .ce.

> I'm inclined to consider this a documentation issue;

Given the results of your peek under the hood, I agree.  Updated the Item
Group.

Thanks for the pointer!  Now I just have to ponder the question "Exactly how
many troffs do I need on my system?"
