I have always been puzzled by the statement in the info docs, "The value of '.j' for any adjustment mode is an implementation detail and should not be relied upon as a programmer's interface." Are there differences in the values reported by \n[.j] between groff and troff? Are the reported values from groff (b=1, c=3, r=5) likely to change or be changed? If yes, the patch makes sense. If no, it's superfluous refactoring. Let me take this opportunity to remind anyone with write access to the repo that proposed mom patches should always be submitted to the list or to me privately, as Bjarni has done, rather than being committed directly. -- Peter Schaffter https://www.schaffter.ca
