[Groff] What is 'loom'?

[Larry Kollar]

One or two of the Stevens books mentions using "Dave Hanson's loom
program" to incorporate source code into the text of his book. A
cursory Google search (plus another at a comp.sources archive) didn't
turn up anything useful.

I gather that it's main purpose is to prepare source code for
inclusion in a troff document. From the sound of it, that could be
useful for certain types of documentation.  So... is the source
available anywhere? Is this something we should think about
including with other preprocessors?
