Update of bug #67057 (group groff):
Summary: [troff] allow square-bracket delimiters for all
escape sequences => [troff] allow square-bracket syntax for all escape
sequences

Follow-up Comment #1:
Revising summary.
I think it's a really bad idea to call paired square brackets '[' and ']'
"delimiters" because this term already carries a heavy and confusing load in
*roff.
Delimiters are used in escape sequences already, but they have to be
identically matched. They are also used by the `tl` request and in output
comparison expressions (`.if 'foo'bar' .tm no match`).
