$ printf '.hla\n.phw foobar\n' | ./build/test-groff -a
<beginning of page>
foobar
I expected no output from that input, since `phw` is a debugging request that
writes only to the standard error stream.
Also, as present, it's not defined to take any arguments.
The problem is a missing `skip_line()`.
