Resurrecting the half of a patch of mine from April that Ingo didn't take care of for me.
I checked, and I did not bust the column width in the table even on a

Comments appreciated.

Add \(dq as glyph that doesn't print as itself.
This is only true in a macro-call context, but mention this fact for the
benefit of users confused by the issue.
Patch attached.
