Boy, I really stepped on my di...tail with this one.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=18d708e489758636ff9e168eee2592591755eb61

I had a fallback definition of `MR` in my /etc/groff/man.local file so when I
_thought_ I was testing it, I wasn't.  The branch inside the `@@` macro to
define the `MR` macro was never being taken.

Thanks to Alexis for reporting this.

Might be cleanest to just revert that commit and re-commit with a fixed sed
script.
