Not exactly, it should be

        '\" t

At least this is the convention on SunOS, and, following that,
on SVR4 derivatives. (The first reference I can find is in a
SunOS 4 manual page from 1988.) "man" commands in that line do
not interpret the first line as a preprocessor specification
if the first character is a dot.
