should

Details:
The source code says this:
.de TL
.br
.als TL cov*err-not-again
.rn @AB AB
.rn @AU AU
.rn @AI AI
.di cov*tl-div
.par@reset
.ft B
.ps +2
.vs +3p
.ll (u;\\n[LL]*5/6)
.nr cov*n-au 0
.DEVTAG-TL
..
You would therefore think that a document like this would provoke the
'cov*err-not-again' macro:
.PP
First paragraph.
.TL
A Title
.PP
Next paragraph.
.TL
Another Title
.PP
Third paragraph.
.TL
Third Title
.PP
Fourth paragraph.
...but this renders without warnings. Any user stumbling across this might be
tempted to abuse .TL as a sort of sectioning macro.
AT&T ms behavior should be checked.
