[groff] Refer Bibliographies: Reverse sort and new page

Hi all!

I'm using groff mom to rewrite my academic CV, and using refer to pull in
references.

Two questions I haven't been able to find answers for yet:

1. Can you set the .R1/.R2 "sort" option to reverse? I would like to sort
it by reverse date, such that the newest things in each category are at the
top. It sorts by ascending date swimmingly, which is good enough for now
(and I can always manually sort them).

2. Can the bibliography be set to *not* print on a new page? I'm using the
bibliography command several times to pull in different types of content
(academic articles, presentations, etc.) and it would be nice if it didn't
break to a new page for each section.

I know I could accomplish both of the above by using lower-level commands,
I'm just wondering if anyone has a solution that lets me keep the
conveniences mom's .BIBLIOGRAPHY command provides.

Oh, and a bonus #3 - is there a good way to bold a part of each reference
(e.g. my name in the author's list)? The mom inline embolden command, set
into the refer database, indeed emboldens the text, but seems to break
things otherwise. I remember some *very* hacky ways people do this in
LaTeX, but it seems to me that groff's stream editing style would enable a
more elegant solution.
