Follow-up Comment #1:

`OP` is a deprecated macro.

_groff_man_(7):

       .OP option‐name [option‐argument]
[...]
              Use of this quasi‐semantic macro, an extension originating
              in Documenter’s Workbench troff, is deprecated.  It cannot
              easily be used to annotate options that take optional
              arguments or options whose arguments have internal
              structure (such as a mixture of literal and variable
              components).  One could work around these limitations with
              font selection escape sequences, but it is preferable to
              use font style alternation macros, which afford greater
              flexibility.


It is little-used in the field, I don't plan its further development, oppose
doing so, and barring the emergence of strong consensus in favor of it on the
_groff_ list or the broader community.

Closing as rejected.
