Ok, but should we consider fields as macros?  I had not expcted up to now that 
fields reduce \\ to \.  And we now have a difference between groff and other 
troff variants here.

So I read your and Ralph's mail as "\\ should not be used to produce a \ 
character in the output and so we don't need to fix this feature"?
