What undocumented escape sequences? You mean, after all these
years, I can stop telling people that there is no way to get sub and
superscripts using enscript? It looks like I've forgotten the standard
Unix wizzard motto; if you want to know how something works, RTFSC! Doing
so now, I see that it looks like the standard nroff output escapes (ESC-8,
ESC-9, etc) are understood. Why isn't this in the man page!?
