Is there any way to include transparent output in the middle of the line
in ditroff so that output is flushed correctly.
What I want is the following:
	text1 .... <transparent output> ... text2

I already know about \! but that does not seem to flush output correctly
and I do not want to break the line at that point.
'fl to flush the buffer doesn't seem to help either.
Being able to do this will allow one for eg. to draw things in postcript
in the middle of a line.
