Follow-up Comment #6, bug #66673 (group groff): A quibble with the text added to NEWS:
> * If your roff(7) documents follow any of the requests `cf` [etc.]
> with a comment after their file name argument, and did not place
> that comment immediately after the end of the file name, you are
> likely to get a diagnostic message.
"likely" seems to understate. Given the two conditions stated, there are only
two possibilities: (a) the user will get a diagnostic; (b) the user will get a
different file from what they got before this change (in the unlikely event
that their search path contains both "file.tmac" and "file.tmac "). Maybe
that's what you meant by "likely," since you only covered the more likely of
those situations, but it's a little misleading: the behavior _will_ change;
the only question is _how_ it will change, and the word "likely," without any
stated alternative, implies there's a chance that things will work as they did
before.
Also, the phrase "the end of" above is unnecessary.
