While I've done a the occasional groff/nroff/troff text-processing in
the last decade, it hasn't been much.

And changing this up to allow smarter paragraph definitions
(Christian's reply just came in re regexp paragraph definitions) would

(using blank lines) but could see it being useful when coding to have
something like "\<def \<" for Python.
