Added new old escape sequence \*[nn].

Initial correct .Bd support (still only text in literal displays).
Symbols put into tables (character-encoding).

+ * Flush a line of text.  A "line" is loosely defined as being something

+ *
+ * Specifically, a line is whatever's in p->buf of length p->col, which
+ * is zeroed after this function returns.
+ *
+ * The variables TERMP_NOLPAD, TERMP_LITERAL and TERMP_NOBREAK are of
+ * critical importance here.  Their behaviour follows:
+ *
+ *  - TERMP_NOLPAD: when beginning to write the line, don't left-pad the
+ *    offset value.  This is useful when doing columnar lists where the
+ *    prior column has right-padded.
+ *
+ *  - TERMP_LITERAL: don't break apart words.  Note that a long literal
+ *    word will violate the right margin.
+ *
+ *  - TERMP_NOBREAK: this is the most important and is used when making
+ *    columns.  In short: don't print a newline and instead pad to the
+ *    right margin.  Used in conjunction with TERMP_NOLPAD.
+ *
+ *  In-line line breaking:
+ *
+ *  If TERMP_NOBREAK is specified and the line overruns the right
+ *  margin, it will break and pad-right to the right margin after
+ *  writing.  If maxrmargin is violated, it will break and continue
+ *  writing from the right-margin, which will lead to the above
+ *  scenario upon exit.
+ *
+ *  Otherwise, the line will break at the right margin.  Extremely long
+ *  lines will cause the system to emit a warning (TODO: hyphenate, if
+ *  possible).
