[bug #62826] [PATCH] [tmac] options "-mandoc" and '-C' are not compatible

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #62826 (group groff):

In the cited email thread, a bug occurs only when the deleted sed script
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/tmac/strip.sed?id=8fc53e4fd397f210a210fa006eaa5bc8e8012044
tmac/strip.sed] is applied to
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/tmac/andoc.tmac
tmac/andoc.tmac].  This sed script is no longer shipped or supported (bug
#55091).

Bjarni, can you post a test case that demonstrates buggy behavior using
supported tools?

I do agree that until bug #44714 is fixed, the empty control lines to work
around it should be commented.  But the rest of the proffered patch appears to
be to support a local customization.

And even for that purpose, it looks like overkill.  Why have the .ie and two
separate branches, simply to include or exclude the bug-workaround line?  That
line should have no effect regardless of the compatibility-mode setting, so
why not simply always include it and eliminate the conditional?
