[bug #55060] me: behavior of .ll does not match documentation

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55060 (project groff):

[comment #3 comment #3:]
> I think the "translation" of the meaning of line length in 'me'
> files or the macro package,
> did not succeed in the statement "global to environments".

OK.  That statement appears in -me's source code comments, not in the
documentation, so I think it's OK.  -me comments are generally terse.  Still,
this comment was written at a time when "environments" meant exactly three,
not an arbitrarily large number, so an extra couple words of clarification
wouldn't hurt (e.g., "global to the 3 classical roff environments").

> the register '$l' can be used in all environments once set.
> 
> The register '.l' is an environmental register.

Good advice.  If the resolution of this bug ends up being to change the
documentation, this could be mentioned.
