Follow-up Comment #1, bug #60228 (project groff):

I need to update my input and output examples due to confusion on my part
(arising from our deficient documentation of .FS macro arguments which put
Bill Bixby's contact lenses into my eyes--but more on that in a different
ticket).

Input:

.LP
This is my\** paragraph*.
.
.FS
numeric footnote
.FE
.
.FS *
symbolic footnote
.FE


V7 ms output:

$ nroff -ms footnote* | sed '/^$/d'
This is my paragraph*.
__________________________

Heirloom output:

$ ./bin/nroff -ms footnote-markers-v2.ms | sed '/^$/d'
This is my[1] paragraph*.

   [1] numeric footnote

groff 1.22.4/Git HEAD output:

$ nroff -ms footnote-markers-v2.ms | sed '/^$/d'
This is my1 paragraph*.
───────────
  1 numeric footnote
