This change regresses formatting on DWB 3.3, Plan 9, and Solaris 10
troffs, causing some synopsis lines to overset (overrun the right
margin). That's because those formatters use a line length of 65n in
nroff mode, not 78-80n as Heirloom Doctools troff and groff (for their
man(7) packages), and mandoc(1) do.
Because filling is off, one doesn't get warnings from GNU troff about
this, even when the relevant warning category is enabled. Dave Kemper
has opined that when people turn filling off, they're happy for lines to
silently overset. I think this makes a good set of counterexamples.
We can easily see where the margin is by inspecting the header of
each man page; it coincides with the right end of (3NCURSES).
Those check Plan 9 or Solaris 10 troff output will observe different
page offsets,[1] but all use the same 65n line length.
