Understood.  The implication, however, is that if I say

    groff -ms mydoc.ms

then mydoc.ms will be processed in compatibility mode on one
system and not on another.  The change to the wrappers that
I suggested would change that behavior:  Instead, if you wanted
mydoc to be processed in compatibility mode, you would say

    groff -ms -C mydoc.ms

and otherwise it wouldn't.
