    doc/groff.texi (Copy Mode): Clarify.
    
    Explicitly name requests that append to macros, strings, and diversions
    as being processed in copy mode.  The phrase "copy mode" is also applied
    to some other things, and maybe it shouldn't (like the argument list to
    .tm).  This way we're prepared in case we want to be more specific than
    "certain requests".

 Since the escape character escapes itself, you can control whether any
 escape sequence is interpreted at macro definition time or when it is
