[Groff] Line continuation

Hello,

When one needs to break a long line, the continuation needs to start at the beginning
of the next line. This spoils the readability of the file.
I would like to have something like this:

xxx   yyyy  wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww\X
                   wwwwwwwwww

where \X would cause groff to ignore the newline as well as the leading spaces of the next line.

I don't think that I am the first one with such request, but I have no idea what keywords to
search for. Perhaps one of you with good memories ...

Miklos
