of course.
Thanks for doing so much work on and maintaining GNU roff such
a long time.

I haven't tried it ._. (S-roff is not usable yet).
I just noted while syncing that in [6fb4a0a] (Fix last patch and
use `t*' prefix for all non-public stuff, 2010-02-08, yourself)
s and v of hdtbl were renamed to t*s and t*v but that didn't reach
common.roff, and methinks-ed "what else should s and v else refer
to"?  'Should have mentioned this context at first!

Me too, i ended up doing things that manifest like

    TODO Yet i didn't remove the variable "left" since i don't know
    TODO wether that wouldn't have side effects (since Werner did
    TODO remove it there are surely none, but it takes intellectual
    TODO property to get there and i'm in fear of violating copyright
    TODO if i'd blindly take it).

in commit messages and hope it is enough.  (Also if the diff will
reduce to zero shall i find out that "left" really can be removed
that is.)
Ciao,
