Re: Inconsistent space after raw regions

    unless there's an argument
    for backwards compatibility.

Obviously any change will break backwards compatibility and existing
manuals that made their hacks to deal with the existing behavior will,
most likely, fail.  But it seems like you've already changed newline
behavior in other cases, namely macros, and if the end result is cleaner
(i.e., can be the same for all formats), it is at least arguably worth
it.  Seems like your choice to me.  I myself always avoided changing
such behavior, but that may have ultimately been the worse choice.

As for existing manuals, as you know, lilypond and groff and calc are
ones that persistently come up as making extensive use of macros,
conditionals, and other "tricky" features.
