(originally posted to the groff email list:

The fixed-width space characters \0, \|, and \^ are all nonbreaking, but the
documentation does not say so.
A possible patch to remedy this is attached. Perhaps only the groff.texi part
of the patch should be applied; groff.7.man isn't meant to be a comprehensive
reference, and this level of detail may add unnecessary clutter.
