TeX is even worse...
Maybe, but the goal is to make it better and not to excuse
limitations by pointing to other crap, stating "they're making it no
better", right? ;-)
What about enhancing groff and trowing out these limitations? At
least in non-compatible mode there should be no problem, in
compatible-mode the limitations could stay for people who rely on
this limitations.
Do you volunteer?
I'd love to, but I'm not really good im programming, no clue of
object oriented stuff. I still struggle with your code snippet for
having text flowing around PSPIC-Imports.
And, of course, time is a really limiting factor here.
You might have a look at heirloom troff's
implementation which already has such an extension; it makes
absolutely no sense to program something differently.

Perhaps someone else will?
