It neither works in groff nor in heirloom roff as specified (in original -ms
specification).
I suggest to make .QS, .QE, .QP work as specified for traditional -ms without
any warnings. Then there may be some redundant code in .QE and .RE but this
should not be an issue today. Today I have no time but tomorrow I could work
on that if nobody else wants to do it. I see no reason to be incompatible to
original -ms here.
It is ok that groff .LP/.PP restores the indent. .QS could set a flag that is
reset by .QE and .LP/.PP so that for groff .QE is optional if it is followed by
.LP/.PP directly.
