\s[-\n(.s] and \s-\n(.s inconsistent

Hi,

\s[-\n(.s] resets the size to the previous value while \s-\n(.s
sets it to the smallest possible value, which seems inconsistent:

.ps 9
\s[-\n(.s]\n(.s
.ps 9
\s-\n(.s\n(.s

The behavior of \s-\n(.s is compatible with traditional troff so
I think \s[-\n(.s] should be changed to do the same.

        Gunnar
