Spawned off of bug #68696.
Having an argumentful `ti` request preceding a table region provokes a style
warning about use of a centering request.
Thanks to Ingo Schwarze for bringing the issue to light.
Here's a reproducer
[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2026-09/msg00014.html based on
his].
$ cat ATTIC/ti-request-before-tbl.roff
normal text
.br
.ti 8n
.TS
box; l.
lone table cell
.TE
This is a really long input line \[em]
so long that it will likely break across two output lines.
However, what about the next input line?
.sp
normal text
$ ~/groff-HEAD/bin/nroff -t -ww ATTIC/ti-request-before-tbl.roff | cat -s
troff:ATTIC/ti-request-before-tbl.roff:152: warning: ignoring temporary
indentation while centering request in effect [-w style]
normal text
