I like that one too.  It catches .IP followed by .PP.  I'll add it; I'll
use both tools.  And for man-pages(7) too.  I'll CC you both when I add
it to the man-pages(7) Makefile, in case you may want to comment.

BTW, to whoever it may concern, when you release groff-1.23 (you know,
maybe tomorrow, maybe next decade :), tell mandoc(1) people to add .MR ;).

Thanks!

Alex
