Opened at Branden's invitation (albeit an invitation to Alex that he seemingly
never took up): http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2023-03/msg00092.html

Alex: "I can't imagine why you would want to break a word in a function
prototype.  The same as .MR implies \%, I think .Fn also should."

Branden: "Good point. ... [A]n audit of mdoc(7)'s extensive macro repertoire
should be undertaken for this precise question."
