From inspection, your code looks good!
It is still handling predefined strings later than user-defined
strings, but that is not so important that it needs to be fixed now.
In both old and new groff, the following works (horrors!-):
.ds pi surprising
This is \*(\*(Pi.
Which gives us:
This is surprising.
The predefined string \*(Pi evaluates to "pi",
and we have defined \*(pi ourselves. Oh well. :-)
Yours,
Ingo
