I'm pleased to announce the addition, in discussion for over a year[1],
of a new semantic macro for the GNU implementation of man(7), prompted
by and compatible with Plan 9 troff, for man page cross references: MR.

That’s nice, but s,Plan 9,plan9port,.

.MR ls 1 .

That’s nice and all, but still inconsistent with p9p -man. There, you’d do

        .MR ls (1) .
