Maybe there should be a macro package and/or document that collects tricks
and techniques such as this one that would be part of the groff package?
www.gnu.org/software/groff/#documentation
does not list much in the way of documentation
www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/
could add a "Tricks and Techniques" section that would
collect gems such as this one.
or
maybe add this trick to
www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/Manipulating-Hyphenation.html
It, and many like it, deserve a better fate than "lost in folk-lore".
