    pic(1), tbl(1): Parallelize wording with eqn(1).
    
    This tightens pic(1)'s claim regarding what can accept its output; it no
    longer implies that any troff can interpret it.  The output does seem to
    largely avoid groff-specific syntax or extensions, apart from stroke and
    fill color selection.  It's not clear to me if that defeats the
    processing of GNU pic output by, say, DWB or Plan 9 troff, so until we
    know, make the narrower claim.
