Follow-up Comment #1, bug #68830 (group groff): Some elaboration came along later in the inciting ticket.
Deri wrote, "The documentation for tbl could be improved by saying that
linesize only works if you have not used \D't' anywhere before the table and
mention that issueing \D't -1' before the table will restore linesize
working."
Branden replied, "I'd feel lame offering that advice to users. I think it
would be better to treat the line thickness as we treat other parameters of
the environment; save the configuration on the way into the table region,
operate with clear semantics within it (which are already documented); and
restore the saved parameters on the way out."
So this _could_ be recategorized as a documentation update rather than a
feature change, though that does not seem ideal.
