But that isn't really a good solution!  It requires getting your hands 
dirty with the internal (private) details of the macro implementation.

This is similar to attempting to access the private members of a C++ 
class from a scope outside the class methods, (except that C++ will not 
allow you to subvert this protection, whereas groff will).  You should 
not need to do this; there surely must be a public interface to support 
what you are trying to achieve, without subverting package internals?
