`papersize.tmac' converts uppercase to lowercase while assigning the
\*[paper] string. In other words, it doesn't matter whether you say
`-dpaper=a4l

Hmmm ... I get:
troff -ww -dpaper=A
If I run the following shell script
troff -ww -dpaper=A4 -dcA5 <<'END'
.tm PAPER = \*[paper] c = \*[c]
.ex
END
The output is
PAPER = a4 c = A5
What is going on?
