Follow-up Comment #1:

[comment #0 original submission:]

Commit 07edefd1
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=07edefd1> adds to the
info manual: "Alternatively, 'end' names a macro which, upon being
subsequently called, ends the definition of 'name'."

This addresses this part of the bug.  To me, the CSTR #54 wording is a little
clearer; it made the order of events immediately clear to me, while I had to
read the new sentence a couple times before fully understanding it.  But the
new sentence ultimately does say the same thing as the CSTR #54 one, so this
may be merely a limitation of my brain.
