Yes, it will be added.  It shouldn't bee too difficult because it's
essentially a clone of mdoc(7) .Xr.  Also, it is somewhat urgent
because the groff manual pages already use it, so i have to
support it in mandoc(1) before i can update the OpenBSD groff port
to 1.23.

The MF string register will be ignored, though.  mandoc(1) will
always set the topic (or to use a more precise term, the *name*)
of the manual page linked to in the R font.

Yours,
  Ingo
