Message-ID: <202201120249.20C2nfst2370834@darkstar.fourwinds.com> (raw)
Been reading the heirloom docs. Remember one thing that I disliked
about troff which maybe Doug can explain. It's the language in the
docs. I never understood "interpolating a register" to have any
relation to the definition of interpolate that I learned in math.
Made it a bit hard to learn initially.
Any memory of why that term was used?
