commit 496530512d152615bc9c7f8ba1bff773b2c54be7
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri Oct 4 05:05:45 2024 -0500

    [tbl]: Use `\n[.R]`, not INT_MAX literal.
    
    * src/preproc/tbl/table.cpp (table::init_output): Migrate to use of `.R`
      register for a huge value in generated groff language, instead of
      hard-coding (2^31)-1 as a numeric literal.
