    gropdf(1), grops(1): Kill off more bullet strings.
    
    * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.1.man:
    * src/devices/grops/grops.1.man: Delete page-local BU string defining a
      bullet character.  Delete page-local LI macro which appears to have
      attempted to work around the problem described in commit
      56aa34189b265bd2ff1b3d9fa3886cfec98b20e2 by calling .IP with the
      desired indentation, a null tag, and then using negative horizontal
      motion and width escapes to overprint the "empty" tag area.  Good
      grief.  Do away with all this nonsense in favor of plain \bu and the
      default fat indentation.  Shouldn't we just root-cause the but in .IP
      and fix it, instead?
    
      A page-local macro, .FT, remains.  However, this one I believe
      justifies its existence, in these pages only.  Add comment to explain.
