	What macro package defines this one, BTW?  All that I've found
	so far are the -mm's (as bundled with GNU Troff 1.20.1) .VERBON
	and .VERBOFF macros.

PS.  Is there a macro similar to LaTeX's \today for GNU Troff?  Or,
	actually, I'd be more interested in an ISO 8601-based version,
	akin to the following \todayiso one for LaTeX.

\newcommand \twodigits [1] {%
  \ifnum #1<10 0\fi
  \number #1}

\newcommand \todayiso {%
  \number \year-\twodigits \month-\twodigits \day}
