Follow-up Comment #11:

I think this report was just mistaken in the first place.

Very few changes were made in "src/roff/troff" in 2014, and those that I see
have no bearing on hyphenation as far as I can tell.

Here's a counterexample for the `hcode` complaint.


$ cat EXPERIMENTS/weird-kindergarten.groff
.if r HCODE .hcode @ a
.ll 62n
\c
.nr oldline \n[nl]
.while (\n[oldline] = \n[nl]) kinderg@rten
.pl \n[nl]u
$ ~/groff-HEAD/bin/groff -T utf8 EXPERIMENTS/weird-kindergarten.groff
kinderg@rten     kinderg@rten     kinderg@rten    kinderg@rten
kinderg@rten
$ ~/groff-HEAD/bin/groff -r HCODE=1 -T utf8
EXPERIMENTS/weird-kindergarten.groff
kinderg@rten  kinderg@rten  kinderg@rten  kinderg@rten kinder‐
g@rten
$ ~/groff-stable/bin/groff -T utf8 EXPERIMENTS/weird-kindergarten.groff

kinderg@rten  kinderg@rten  kinderg@rten  kinderg@rten kinder‐
g@rten


Resolving as invalid.
