Not to anyone familiar with Unicode's U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE, which
doesn't correspond to groff's \& but to its \: (which groff currently
calls the "non-printing break point").  And regardless of who can
claim the longer history, Unicode terminology is in much wider use
today than CSTR#54 terminology.
