Hi, i have a little problem writing a man page (Berkeley-style, mandoc)
for a my program. This is the header.

.Dd August 7, 1996
.Os
.Dt CINFOC 1
.Sh NAME
.Nm cinfoc
.Nd cinfo database compiler
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm cinfoc
.Op Fl dV	<------ This is the problem
.Op Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
[..snip..]

The problem is that 'dV' is defined as a macro by the mandoc macro package,
so the *roff formatter doesn't print:

SYNOPSIS
	cinfoc [-dV] [file ...]

but some crap/garbage/stuff/... :-) like:

SYNOPSIS
	cinfoc [-[]] [file ...]

How to 'disable' the dV evaluation (need an escape like the '\' in C)?
I tried those lines but are not the solution.

.Op Fl \Dv
.Op Fl 'Dv'
.Op Fl "Dv'
....

thanks in advance.
