Nope, that's wrong. Forget I said that; I think I might now see
something I can further improve in the documentation.
You can see I'm still bedeviled by relative insets. :-|
I tend to never use the argument to .RE; I just call .RE multiple times
to balance out my .RS calls, just like parentheses. When I do that, I
don't get surprised.
