* soelim no longer requires embedded space characters in `so` arguments
to be backslash-escaped. (It continues to support that syntax, even
- though neither AT&T nor GNU troff ever has.) If the argument to a
- `so` request must contain leading spaces, any such sequence of spaces
- must now be prefixed with a double quote character ("), which the
- program then discards. These changes are to better align this
- program's parsing rules with the language of the formatter; consider
- the `ds` and `as` requests.
