too loudly.

Groff already makes no distinction between US and UK English in its
hyphenation handling, so whatever screaming they want to do, it's over
something more fundamental than the name of the .tmac file.

I don't know, because I'm not sure I'm following you.

hyphen{,ex}.us, despite living in tmac/, aren't tmac files, so the default .hy
can't be set there.

troffrc looks like it unconditionally sets the language to "us" and loads
those two hyphenation files.  So this might be a good place to go ahead and
set .hy as well, rather than creating a new .tmac file.  But I don't know how
non-English groffs are set up (Do they skip troffrc altogether?  Does the
installation process modify this file to load different hyphenation
patterns?), so I'm probably not the best person to say.
