Follow-up Comment #1:

Yup, that's a good point.  I had blinders on when I wrote that.

Hmm.  So soelim(1) is just not a document that benefits from groff -p, and its
".mso pic.tmac" request was not (just) a redundancy to work around man(1)
programs that would not anticipate the need to run any man page through pic,
but essential to getting the page to render correctly on typesetter devices.

This has me rethinking now whether I even need the stuff I added to grog(1) to
handle input line continuation and strip brace escapes.  It's not a large code
savings if I get rid of them, but it was this very scenario that motivated me
to add them in the first place.
