Check a few cases:
1. plain usage
2. leading quotation mark for passage of multi-word argument(s)
3. usage very early in the document
There appears to be an undiagnosed issue with `device`. You can invoke it
"too early", and it won't appear on the output. This might be the case any
time the vertical drawing position is negative. Investigate and document.
You can invoke `output` wherever you want, but this can also break the
invariant claimed in "Document parts" [sic] of groff_out(5). So something
documentary needs to be said about that too.
