It seems to cause problems. man.1 (attached) renders worse in the
current trunk than in Emacs 23.3. The woman-log buffer has many entries
that do not appear in 23.3:
** Escape ignored: \- -> -
[many times]
** Escape ignored: \f -> f
[many times]
** .. request ignored!
[several times]
** Numeric/register argument error: w'man 'u
An example of a section that renders worse is

fBbold textfR@T{
type exactly as shown.
T}

following section:
EXAMPLES
man ls
Display the manual page for the item (program) ls.
man.1.gz
