Yay. |grotty was a bit hard because i wanted to implement all sorts of |OSC 8 things, even those they did not invent there in that github |repo, like document-local anchors and document-local "URI"s (i |used the usual "#REF" syntax used by eg HTML).
Ok, so i slept over that and have to say the grotty part was silly. I was coming from mdocmx thinking. I will rewrite it like \X'tty osc8 [id ID] [uri URI]' aka leave the user in charge of just about anything, without any testing, and without keywords we actually see an end-marker. This means that macros or converters are in charge of creating #ANCHORs and links as well as man://NAME.SECTION URLs, but then again that is the usual thing of doing things, and one cannot enforce a thing with a too-complicated i-do-it-all-for-you.
