- GNU-indent-1.6 does not handle character constants in a correct manner
- using "-troff" option. It generates wrong constants, or keeps sequence
- of characters with special meaning to "troff", which will generate
- everything else than desired.
-
- GNU indent doesn't really support -troff. Ideally, indent should be
- rewritten and provide support for TeX output. If someone would like
- to undertake this project, please send me email.
