Follow-up Comment #5, bug #68133 (group groff):

What is the drawback to allowing translations that have historically worked in
groff, especially those of which have worked even before groff, to continue to
work?  Or, I guess more accurately, what is gained by banning them?

I get that under the hood, \(+- is a character and \~ is not, but why should
this distinction matter to users just trying to accomplish something?  (Bug
#65829 shows one possible use case.)
