I don't think this is a good idea. "aligned" in pic means
the direction of the text is aligned with the direction of
the object:

That's okay--no one on TUHS saw it unless they're also subscribed to
groff@gnu.
I noticed, but parked my reply for a day to keep the list traffic volume

To reassure you, I'm aware; I consulted this history for the roff(7)
page that shipped in groff 1.23.0, and was able to prepare a partial
chronology of request
Roff adopted the term "adjust" from Runoff, in the guise of.ad and .na,
which have persisted sixty decades, through nroff, troff, and groff.
"Justify" joined the roff family lexicon well before Branden's citations,
via pic's keywords ljust and rjust.
