So groff(7) is wrong in stating that \` is the grave accent and unescaped

How about groff_char(7) that states that \[cq] yields the "real" ASCII 39
character? The one that we want to display in the ascii(7) man page.

Life would sure be easier when every character would just print as itself and
people wanting pretty quotes should use escaped versions to clearly state
their intent... :)
