[bug #66323] grops should handle special character escape sequences in c

Subject: [bug #66323] grops should handle special character escape sequences in certain device control commands

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #66323 (group groff):

Comment #9 clarifies the scope and purpose of this bug.

Subsequent comments seem to identify several others.

Comment #10 talks about rendering differences between grops and gropdf.  These
have not yet been root-caused, so they may be down to user error--but if so,
this may point to a documentation deficiency.  In any case, it may help focus
discussion if this issue were a separate ticket.

Comment #11 raises several others:
* scrubbing a string is ill supported in current groff (bug #62264)
* mom is not scrubbing the argument to her .AUTHOR macro.  This may be
dependent on the aforementioned #62264, but some of it may be currently
handleable.
* pdfmom sometimes exits with a 0 even if there's been an error
* "special characters aren't getting into 'grout' at all."  I take it this is
a separate problem from the grops one that is now the focus of this ticket,
since grops takes grout as input.

Should any of the above be separate tickets (besides the one that already is)
so that they don't get lost in the deluge?
