Follow-up Comment #9, bug #51312 (project groff):

A typo in comment #8 is making it show up blank here (which seems to me like a
bug in the bug tracker).  It showed up fine on bug-groff, and here it is again
here:


commit cbbf97b88157283ee1b8d67d98bf15633b8d3921

    [docs]: Be more careful with control characters.
    
    ...when they are word-initial in filled text lines.
    
    The idea is to prevent baffling surprises if a sentence is recast in a
    text editor, and a word beginning with a dot or neutral apostrophe is
    reflowed onto the beginning of the next input line--suddenly it is
    parsed as a control character.
