<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2014-11/msg00183.html>, "Something
I've never figured out is whether it's possible to set up kern pairs in groff
font files that have 'space' as the first element of the pair.  I pipe my
files through sed(1) to catch space-W, space-T, etc and kern them, but it
would be great to have these pairs included in the kerning tables."

Werner Lemberg replied
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2014-11/msg00190.html> "This is not
possible" and later in the thread suggested this enhancement request be added
to the bug tracker.  If it ever was, I can't find it, so here it is.
