We could add it to our list of things to do. In the meantime...
groff and mandoc output of what you committed to git are
byte-by-byte identical except for the following one-blank difference
(mandoc output looks minimally better than groff output at that
point, groff prints one excess blank character because it wrongly
detects the end of a sentence where there is none):
That's a minor formatting glitch in the grep man page. Thanks for reporting it.
I fixed it by installing the attached patch, which fixes some similar glitches
too. I installed a couple of other man page patches while in the neighborhood;
you can see the current version here:
