    doc/ms.ms: Fix thinko.
    
    \m[] and \M[] restore previous values, not defaults.  groff has no way
    of knowing what a terminal's default foreground and background colors
    are; if it did, we could fix one of the weaknesses of the BX macro in
    nroff mode, and choose different colors with which to "box" the text.
