Thanks, my mind is at peace now that I know for sure!

Just converting the type backing groff's registers from `int` to `long`
is a significant refactor, because it implicates other things like the
formatting of diagnostic messages. I found this out whe

Not without arithmetic, as far as I know.

Hello groff users,
can I format/scale numbers when interpolating them?

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 centim
