    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following commit caused some damage, since groff_mdoc(7) assumed the mdoc
symbol names it used were stripped of their "doc-" prefixes.

    * tmac/strip.sed: Stop rewriting symbol names.
    
    A substitution originally intended to strip the "doc-" prefix off of
    mdoc macro and string names unintentionally caught some mom stuff.
    Harmlessly in this instance, but with potentially surprising future
    effects.  Remove (only) this substitution per discussion in
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2017-11/msg00055.html et
    sequentia.
    
    Also migrate comments (in both sed _and_ roff syntax) away from
    `quotes'.

I have a fix ready and am preparing to commit and push.
