The .chop request provokes a rather strange behavior. Test the
following lines.
***************************
.de x
.if 1 ##
..
Call macro x:
.x
(not chopped yet).
.br
Now chop it:
.chop x
.x
removed space as expected.
.br
Now call it twice:
.x
.x
oops!
****************************
This will display:
Call macro x: ## (not chopped yet).
Now chop it: ##removed space as expected.
Now call it twice: ##.x oops!
This surely is not wanted.
