    groff(7): Tweak wording.
    
    * Remove a sentence that should go without saying.
    * Say "output driver" rather than "current output device".  Devices vary
      in all kinds of ways, and there is a one-to-many correspondence
      between a driver and the devices it produces output for.  The word
      "current" is also spurious because the output driver is one thing that
      _isn't_ modal in the lifetime of a troff process.
