This statement of mine is incorrect.  You _do_ need to interpret it insofar as
you schedule a line break to occur at the next word break.

I was thinking only of `\p`'s implications for adjustment.  In _mdoc_, and in
_groff_ when adjustment is disabled, no such implications arise.

Hello, \pworld!

Goodbye, \pworld!
$ nroff ATTIC/backslash-p-when-not-adjusting.roff | cat -s
Hello,                                                     world!
Goodbye, world!
