commit 33c2f8cf681ff93804ea8a389f31f29764349d4e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    [ms]: Support pic(1) "flyback" feature.

    * tmac/s.tmac (PF): Add macro; it does what `PE` formerly did, minus
      vertical spacing.

      (PE): Call `PF` and vertically space as before.

    * doc/groff.texi (ms Insertions):
    * doc/ms.ms (Tables, figures, equations, and references):
    * tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Tables, figures, equations, and references):
      Document it.

    * NEWS: Add item.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60558>.

    Also bump doc/ms.ms document date.

Comments in bug #60479 address some .PF implementation details in -me that may also be relevant to -ms.  The fix for that bug, commit 8daca4df, may also offer insight.

In a nutshell, .PF can be nearly identical to .PE, since pic itself takes care of where to leave the cursor upon completion based on which end macro is used.  In the final -me implementation, the only difference between them is that .PE does an additional ".sp .6" at the end.

The pic preprocessor allows a pic image to be bookended by .PS and .PE, or by .PS and .PF (a fact which bug #60504 seeks to make clearer).

Currently -ms supports .PS and .PE as start and end pic markers.  It should also support .PF (presently unclaimed in the -ms macro space).
