Re: [PATCH] [mdoc] .At: produce "Version 7 AT&T UNIX/32V"

Hello,

the patch is incorrect as posted: \*[doc-str-At] resets the font,
so "/32V" needs to be inserted before it, see below for a corrected
version.

OK schwarze@ if someone wants to push the patch, or i can push it
if another developer tells me too.

I think backward compatibility is not a concern in this case
and the proposed text is an improvement.

I would not object either to making it just "AT&T UNIX/32V" without
the "Version 7".  Arguably, that is even more precise because
32v was never officially called "Version 7".  But it seems less
clear to today's readers, so i minimally prefer the version below.

Yours,
  Ingo
