Does anyone know the history of mmx?  When I started, mmx was the

I seem to remember reading about it, or something similar, in some older documentation. If I'm right, it serves much the same purpose as groff does (in relation to gtroff, grops, and so forth): it uses command-line options and certain defaults (including calling -mm) to build a pipeline.
