Thanks,  I  missed  the  piece about hd*sect-pg.  My
version is definitely better then.

Except for one fairly important issue: you are advocating exposure of what *should* be a private interface, (according to naming convention), and is thus *entirely* specific to groff's mm implementation. How will it then fare, if anyone tries to format your source with A. N. Other's troff implementation?

It seems quite astonishing that mm would not have a formally documented method to achieve this, in a portable fashion, and without having to rely on undocumented internals.
