loc ** exist ** algo ** size * imp ** (parser reorg helps a lot)
- \n+ and \n- numerical register increment and decrement

loc * exist *** algo *** size ** imp **
-- \\ is now implemented correctly
- * when defining strings and macros using .ds and .de
- * when parsing roff(7) and man(7) macro arguments
- It does not yet work in mdoc(7) macro arguments
- because libmdoc does not yet use mandoc_getarg().
- Also check what happens in plain text, it must be identical to \e.
-
- .Bd -centered implies -filled, not -unfilled, which is not
easy to implement; it requires code similar to .ce, which
we don't have either.
is not safe, e.g. `.Bl -column .It Pf a b .' gives "ab."
but should give "ab ."
-- set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned
- loc * exist * algo * size * imp ** (already done?)
-
-- have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke
- loc * exist * algo * size * imp ** (already done?)
-
- check whether it is correct that `D1' uses INDENT+1;
does it need its own constant?

--- compatibility checks -----------------------------------------------
+- write a configure check for [[:<:]] support and provide some
+ fallback for whatis(1) when it doesn't work;

- is .Bk implemented correctly in modern groff?

-- a column list with blank `Ta' cells triggers a spurrious
+- revisit empty in-line macros
+ look at the difference between "Em x Em ." and "Sq x Em ."

+ loc *** exist *** algo *** size * imp **
+
+- a column list with blank `Ta' cells triggers a spurious
start-with-whitespace printing of a newline
+- In .Bl -column, .It a<tab>"b<tab>c"
+ shows the quotes in groff, but not in mandoc
+ loc * exist *** algo ** size * imp **
+
- In .Bl -column,
.It Em Authentication<tab>Key Length
ought to render "Key Length" with emphasis, too,

loc * exist ** algo ** size * imp **
-- .Rv (and probably .Ex) print different text if an `Nm' has been named
- or not (run a manual without `Nm blah' to see this). I'm not sure
- that this exists in the wild, but it's still an error.
- loc * exist * algo * size * imp * (already done?)
-
-- In .Bl -bullet, the groff bullet is "+\b+\bo\bo", the mandoc bullet
- is just "o\bo". The problem is to not break ps/pdf when fixing.
- see for example OpenBSD ksh(1)
- loc ** exist ** algo ** size * imp **
-
- In .Bl -enum -width 0n, groff continues one the same line after
the number, mandoc breaks the line.
