General typesetting is something else.  Heirloom has this kludge only for 
manpages, neatroff (AFAIK not used for manpages) likely does not set .g.

There are ways to detect the formatter but a manpage must not do this.  IMHO a 
manpage should suppose that groff is used.  If groff has bugs (e.g. compared to 
mandoc(1)) they should be fixed.
