That commit adds some flags to nroff, but is silent on why others were decided
against.

It would add a bit of convenience for users to be able to use largely the same
command-line invocation, changing only the first letter of the *roff command.
The grn, grap, and chem preprocessors may not render well in nroff (I've never
used them), but surely subpar rendering is preferable to skipping the
preprocessing entirely.

As comment #1 says, these flags are low priority, but what's the rationale for
rejecting them outright?
