Though I agree with the idea, I'm not sure how practical it is
to expect nroff to be able to actually display pic(1) output :-)
Or does this simply cause a large white space area the proper
size to occur in the output? If so, way cool, that lets us old
cut and paste folks use nroff for more proofing than we could
do before!!
Any reason not to add eqn support??
And you failed to update the man page as it clearly states:
options have the effect described in troff(1). In addi-
tion nroff silently ignores options of -e, -q or -s.
and failes to even mention -p or -t.
Oh, and I hope this was sent back to the gnu maintaners, or it will be
yet another FreeBSD incompatibility :-(.
