Let me add -- nroff/troff is not easy to master period. As someone who has
occasionally edited macros, let me say they are never "Perfect". At any time
that non-computer people tried to learn vi and nroff, it would always
backlog them. I have not seen the 4.3 "me" macros, but I know the 4.2 "me"
macros have bugs in them. (Like everything else on 4.2 :-) The Unix standard
packages are for the converted.
