Sounds sensible. Patch, please.

Hello Ted,
groff 1.18.1 is rather old is it not...
But it does show that the change to lower came in groff 1.19, the
first appearance of papersize.tmac. Werner kindly pointed me
in that direction.
The change broke some of my scripts. If anyone makes use of
the string variable 'paper' from pape

`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?
(groff v1.22.1)
