Wouldn't it make sense to _use_ the SGR control sequences by applying
`ansi-color-apply-on-region' (from `ansi-color.el') on the output
buffer instead of suppressing them?
I don't have groff >= 1.18 here so I dunno if it would work nicely.
[ Probably this should be discussed on emacs-devel.

Yes. I've suggested this already, but my lisp knowledge (and my
available time) is too limited to do it by myself, and AFAIK nobody
has fixed it yet. Volunteers welcome.
