It doesn't seem quite that clear-cut to me.  Neither of those sources
explicitly states what *roff does with additional parameters to .ps,
or with nonnumeric trailing characters to a numeric parameter.  And I
bet that .ps is far from the only request that ignores both of these.

Still, regardless of what the documentation says, there's a
commonsense argument to be made that it's a better design if the
parser nudges the user when it encounters something unexpected.

Care to open a bug report for this?  I feel like someone besides
Bjarni and me should own a few bugs.
