Man page says: "No macro yet exists to cause a line break without
inserting a vertical space (such as troff's `.br' macro)".
But since nroff(1) is actually a wrapper to GNU groff(1), .br macro works
there. Diff is at the end of letter.
Maybe there are more things to update, but I ever started to learn *roff
formatting two days ago... :)
BTW: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/tmac/groff_mdoc.samples.7_in doesn't
contain such a statement too.
