gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 2212cba0fadf49e75d520d341238d4badc80769c
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date:   Sat Dec 15 09:19:47 2018 -0500

    doc/groff.texi: Tweak macro package descriptions.
    
    * Note that mdoc and me originate with BSD.
    * Note mm's origins at AT&T.
    * Add mnemonic reminders of the "meanings" of "mm" and "ms".
    * Remove comments promising future flesh-outs in Texinfo format.  That's
      probably not going to happen.
