Yep.

Excellent!  This is *very* nice.  BTW, attaching something directly to
\$@ doesn't work: Saying address@hidden' as a macro argument is equivalent to
`\$@ foo'.  So this is probably the final version:

  .de CI
  .  ds xx \\n[.fam]
  .  fam C
  .  I \\$@ \F[]\F[\\*[xx]]
  .  fam
  ..

As a consequence, I'm not going to implement the removal of
environments :-)
