Macros, strings, and diversions share the same name space.  The info document points this out in its "Identifiers" section and in its "Strings" section.  But the "Writing Macros" section and the "Diversions" section do not mention it, which has led to confusion (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2014-11/msg00293.html).  These two sections should mention the fact, with a cross-reference to one of the fuller discussions about it.
