Any chance you, or someone else, could write that

I've been through CSTR 54 a few times too, although I haven't tried
to write a macro package from scratch, and I have to admit that there
are things that mystify me.
At this point it's been so many years since I was actively working on
troff that it would require more-or-less starting from zero. Perhaps
when I retire I'll have that kind of time.
