Man pages using these proposed macros--which, since the macros don't
exist yet, will be man pages edited in 2025 or later--will surely
never be formatted by a roff that's limited to two-character
identifiers.  Do other man-parsing tools expect all macros to be two
characters or less?  Or, as the man language is selectively expanded,
can its new macros be given human-meaningful names?
