Pop quiz: How do YOU .do?

[G. Branden Robinson]

How well do you know groff's .do request?  Put it to the test!

I found the existing man page documentation much too light and a certain
paragraph in the Texinfo manual confounding.

But I know there are people reading this list who are highly
experienced, or simply more clever than I am.

Pretend you are groff, running without the -C flag, writing to an
nroff device, and you are given the region between the SNIPs below as
input.

What will your output be?

A plain-text hint is attached, as well as the solution, base64-encoded.
