Hmm, I'll update the scripts/sortman script in the man-pages repo to tuse sort -V.
I intend that script (among Makefile code) to replace Deri's perl, as I don't
speak perl.

Yep, I don't like that .Z either.

We might as well make it official in suffixes(7).

	.set	troff(1) typeset output

Hmm?

Which made me realize .roff is not documented.  Branden, as the maintainer
of groff(1), would you mind checking that page and adding all the
