Hi Ingo,

as part of documenting the roff escape sequence \!, I want to define
a tag named '!'. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem possible with mandoc.
None of the following work:
  .It Ic \e!
  .Tg !
  .Tg \e!
  .Tg \&!

The last two trigger the following errors:
  ERROR: skipping tag containing whitespace: Tg \e!
  ERROR: skipping tag containing whitespace: Tg \&!

Given that
  .Tg .
succeeds in creating a tag named '.', I consider this behavior a bug.

Thanks,
onf
