Yuuuup. Ding ding ding. A couple of qualifiers in CSTR #54, ยง7, and
stuff I've already edited(!) in our Texinfo manual (.asciify, .unformat)
makes several times more sense now.
And yes, when I add ".nf" before ".DI" in my examples, Heirloom and
groff behave the same in this area.[1]
Thanks, Tadziu. Sometimes I peer at tree bark so closely looking for
termite holes that I forget than I'm in a forest. :)
