>Description:

	The groff_mm(7) man page states that groff will handle mm macros if
invoked as groff -mmm. However, in /usr/share/tmac, there is only tmac.m
instead of tmac.mm. While it is slightly more convenient to invoke groff -mm,
it would be more consistent to move tmac.m to tmac.mm so that groff will
honor mm macros in the manner documented.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	
mv /usr/share/tmac/m.tmac /usr/share/tmac/mm.tmac

or amend groff_mm(7)

possibly kludge groff to honor -mm as -mmm in case there is some legacy
system out there assuming groff -mm as correct.

thanks!
