Hello groff users,

    can I format/scale numbers when interpolating them?
Long explanation follows.

While writing a minimal reproducible example for this list,
I found myself typing:

    Line length is set to:
    .nr calc \n[.l]/1c
    \n[calc]

Notice how, to interpolate line length in centimetres: I picked
an auxiliary register, scaled the number to centimetres, and then
displayed it.

I am sure I am not the first one wanting to format number output.
Is there a way to — say — \n[my-id]c to have a register interpolated
in a specific scaling unit?

Thanks
—F
