groff_man_style.7: Hyperlink macros: \: before or after '#', '?'?

[Alejandro Colomar (man-pages)]

Hi Branden,

I see that groff_man_style(7) gives advice on where to break URIs
regarding slashes and dots, but not '?' and '#', which are other common
symbols on URIs.  I see that groff(1) seems to break before, in your
manual pages, so I'll follow that practice, but maybe it's good to state
it in the manual page too.

BTW, I missed a question of yours[1], so I'll answer now:

* Branden, a long time ago, said:

Yup, groff(1) is quite consistent in that :)

Cheers,

Alex
