Ingo,
That fixes the issue, thanks! I don't think it's important at all--I
only noticed it when running texi2mdoc(1) on the GSL manual. (Texinfo
manuals seem to (ab)use the @multitable command a lot, which maps to
TS/TE. So it exercises the tbl(7) functionality quite a lot.)
One thing I'm still not sure about is whether it's possible to affect
multiline columns in tbl(7), but that's a different story.
Best,
Kristaps
