commit bd06e20cd9692b427293619843a0623e49c37689

[mm]: Tweak diagnostic handling.
* contrib/mm/m.tmac (@warning, @error): Stop pointlessly using no-break
control character when invoking the `tm` request, which never
causes a break in formatted output. (Management of the standard
output and standard error streams is the user's responsibility.)
(@error): Drop old-fashioned asterisk banners around error
diagnostics. Stop invoking `ab` with redundant and sometimes
misleading arguments. In groff 1.23, `ab` exits silently if given
none. We've already issued a diagnostic and moreover not all problems
are with "syntax"; some are semantic.

* m.tmac (PS): Validate better; check for 2 arguments exactly.
