Does anyone know if DWB 2.0 (~1984) supported the `lq` and `rq` strings
in its man(7) package?
In DWB 3.3 (1993), they are easily found.
https://github.com/n-t-roff/DWB3.3/blob/562bb8615116f46077ca03e8561323cc7a89673e/macros/man/an.sr#L30
But that's after Unix System V (1988), which finally made the decision
to adopt these string definitions from 4BSD (1980).
Regards,
Branden
