+Emulations of a few ancient Bell Labs macros can be re-enabled by calling
+the otherwise undocumented @code{SC} section-header macro. Calling @code{SC}
+enables @code{UC} for marking up a product or application name, and the pair
+@code{P1}/@code{P2} for surrounding code example displays.
+
+These are not enabled by default because (a)@tie{}they were not documented,
+in the original @code{ms} manual, and (b)@tie{}the @code{P1} and @code{UC}
+macros collide with different macros with the same names in the
+Berkeley version of @code{ms}.
+
+These @code{groff} emulations are sufficient to give back the
+1976 Kernighan@tie{}& Cherry paper @cite{Typsetting Mathematics -- User's
+Guide} its section headings, and restore some text that had gone
+missing as arguments of undefined macros. No warranty express or
+implied is given as to how well the typographic details these produce
+match the original Bell Labs macros.
