Don't draw premature conclusions from this "feature". Since
groff does not intrinsically have a paragraph optimizing
capability, the only possible way to achieve this result is to
simply pull the complete word onto the next page and to stretch
the space between the remaining words on the line. In general
(in my experience) the holes in the line resulting from this
treatment are an even worse deterrent to fluid reading than a
word hyphenated across a page boundary. Fortunately groff
also *does* allow one to hyphenate the last word on a page.
