...though this brings up a good point, that the documentation should
probably be amended to explicitly state that \0, \|, and \^ are
unbreakable. I had to figure this out through experimentation.
A possible patch to do this is attached. Perhaps only the groff.texi
part of the patch should be applied; groff.7.man isn't meant to be a
comprehensive reference, and this level of detail may add unnecessary
clutter.
