or a Vim syntax, replacing vim (vi, ex) with groff.

        .\" groff:option1:option2=value:option3

Notice that in vim syntax : can be replaced with a space between the
options.  There's also a variant compatible with the older vi versions
that uses set command.

        .\" groff:set option1 option2=value option3

Yes, the argument is that it is very similar to Emacs.
Yet, I just don't like those -*- signs.

Also, vim syntax is allowed to be in the first N lines of the file,
or the last N lines of the file. The default is N=5.
Thus if you need something to be on the first line you can always move
modeline to the end.
