     BBkk--bbrreeaakk - handling of word keeps

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     Even though it is called a word keep, it will not keep words together in
     free-form text.  However, even the noop macro
     is sufficient to let the keep take effect.  Even text generated in pre-
     handlers must be kept together with the text following it:
     one(1) and two(2) should be on the same line.

     Including the whole output line into the keep is not required, including
     just the macros to be kept together is sufficient:

     Even text printed without spacing must be kept together with the text
     following it:

     _x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x, _x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x_x)
