Subject: table borders don't span entire width

Hi,
In response to a mailing list question I tried out an example from
The Awk Programming Language. The tbl(7) source it generates looks
in part like this:
.TS
center;
n n n n.
_ _ _ _
2173 77.1 13765 53.6
= = = =
.TE
groff creates solid lines as in the book:
---------------------------
2173 77.1 13765 53.6
---------------------------
But mandoc breaks the lines between cells:
---- ---- ----- ----
2173 77.1 13765 53.6
==== ==== ===== ====
Side note: while using = for the double line is an improvement over
groff, in UTF-8 the double line is output with U+2501. Wouldn't U+2550
be more appropriate? The typeset output displays a double line, not a
heavy line.
