Follow-up Comment #14, bug #59795 (project groff):

[comment #13 comment #13:]
> My brain screams for orthogonality, and James Clark just didn't provide it
in \n[.j].

Is there any reason his .j values must be preserved, given that
* the documentation (now) states, "The value of '.j' ... is an implementation
detail and should not be relied upon as a programmer's interface," and
* no mapping of adjustment modes to .j values has ever been documented, so
it's not something document authors should have been relying on even before
this warning was spelled out
?
