+- .als only works for macros in mandoc, not for user-defined strings.
+  Also, the "val" field in struct roffkv would have to be replaced
+  with a pointer to a reference-counted wrapper, and an alias
+  would have to point to the same wrapper as the original.
+  .als to undefined does nothing; the alias is not created.
+  .rm'ing the original leaves the alias to point to the old value.
+  .de .als .de changes both, but
+  .de .als .rm .de only changes the new value, not the alias.
