I must say I am delighted to see that it has occurred to someone else to
use the suffixes "trout" (and presumably "grout") for device-independent
troff and GNU roff output.
When I get around to my planned soup-to-nuts revision of groff_out(5), I
know I will be mightily tempted to encourage others to adopt the
practice, in large part because "device-independent [gt]roff] output" is
far too long to type or speak repeatedly.
