source, from openbsd's ksh.1:
.Sm off
.It *( Ar pattern\*(Ba No ...\*(Ba Ar pattern )
.Sm on
groff and mandoc:
*(pattern|...|pattern)
the only problem is that mandoc marks up the first \*(Ba in the same
font as "pattern", and groff does not.

Actually, that's a known issue, listed here in the TODO list:
- The characters "|" and "\*(Ba" should never be bold,
not even in the middle of a word, e.g. ".Cm b\*(Bac" in
"mknod [-m mode] name b|c major minor"
in OpenBSD ksh(1)
Yours,
Ingo
