Details:
The Texinfo manual and groff(7) do not agree on precisely what the three
vertical-motion escapes \r, \u, and \d do.
Texinfo (doc/groff.texi) documents them as moving up 1v, up .5v, and down .5v,
respectively.
groff(7) (man/groff.7.man) documents them as moving up 1m, up .5m, and down
.5m, respectively.
CSTR #54 (section 11.1) defined the three in m's. I haven't verified whether
this corresponds with historical behavior. Being vertical motions, v's make
more sense.
