Since this is not a report of a build problem the way groff is currently
configured, I'm setting its severity to Wishlist.

It might very well be a good idea to add this module, however, for portability
reasons.

There has been much discussion on the Austin Group mailing list about make(1)
over the past year, and the question of what safe assumptions can be made
regarding unset variables <https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1505> has,
in particular, come up.
