Indeed, rofftext does nothing useful with eqn pieces.  Sigh.

It should be straightforward to extend it to handle .EQ and the dits
that come after.  If there is enough demand, we may be able to do so; or
perhaps someone else would be able to take a crack at it.

In the other direction, eprint -t will convert eq insets into eqn.  One
could work in ez and then convert to troff for further editing.  (The
troff is a bit raw.  It uses the -matk macros, which are not as high
level as -ms or -me.)
