I'm not convinced that using an ".if !\nv .tl ..." or equivalent
is the right way to make cut marks optional. As far as I can tell,
the marks ought to be generated only for certain devices (or in
some cases -- such as the V80 which uses either fanfold or roll
paper -- for certain devices but not always). Therefore it seems
to me that the cut marks should not be in the troff macros but in
the device driver (yes I realize that troff talks only to C/A/T
typesetters; I mean the conversion program [vcat] or in the case
of ditroff the postprocessor).
Does this not make sense? If not, why not?
