Just a brief follow-up to this: the test in the patch is
for a string expansion that returns nothing, in this case
usually because the string is not defined, and then groff
gives a warning.
There are two obvious ways to fix this: either an explicit
empty string that signifies the end of the author's titles,
or storing the number of titles in a register. Both require
one extra register per author, but I think the latter is better,
since it easily allows using .ne to request enough space to
output an author's signature block without page breaks.
With that in mind, here's a better patch (relative to the
original m.tmac). No provision is made for single titles
that are so long that they take more than one line to print.
m.tmac.patch
