Good point.
However:
* The only place tty-char.tmac is loaded automatically is from nroff.sh.
* The only place tty-char.tmac is documented is in comments in itself and in
tty.tmac (and even there, suboptimally: bug #62814). (See also bug #61958.)
* As you note, there's no clean way to separate the "semantic" fallbacks from
the others; users would have to manually copy the ones they want, or edit
tty-char.tmac.
So while some tty-char.tmac fallbacks are useful outside terminal output, the
current infrastructure effectively supports them only when running nroff.
This is worth redressing, but that's another issue for another ticket.
