Well, preconv acts as a filter -- as do (almost) all components in
groff -- thus reading something from the `end of a file' (a) needs a
temporary buffer since the input data stream is `stdin' in most cases
and (b) isn't implemented in preconv due to (a).
I don't understand this. What is preconv, and what does it have to do
with visiting these files in Emacs?
