[bug #61710] [me] $v and $V are in the wrong namespace

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #61710 (project groff):

[comment #6 comment #6:]
> I propose that we ditch $v/$V for 1.23.0-rc2, and for that

That's reasonable.  But does ditching $v and $V also necessitate ditching
support for $r and $R, as the latter are essentially aliases of the former?

As long as we're committing to using registers as the approved mechanism for
specifying leading, we've decoupled the .sz issue from this one: .sz needn't
change in order to reorganize the registers.  (The original proposal to change
.sz was based on avoiding exposing registers for this functionality.)

Any changes to .sz can then be considered as a separate enhancement.  (At
least, from a UI perspective.  From a coding perspective, they may still be
coupled more tightly than that, and you may want to consider the issues in
tandem.)
