  On pages 15-16 of the 4.2 BSD tutorial "Using nroff and -me" is described
the method of using the transparency characters "\!" to defer the processing
of an index entry until the figure is output so that the page number is correct.

	.(z
	.(c
	Text of figure
	.)c
	.ce
	Figure 5.
	\!.(x f
	\!Figure 5
	\!.)x
	.)z

I would like to put the stuff before "Text of figure" in one macro and the
stuff after in another, but I cannot get the transparency part to work.  Does
anybody know how to get this to work?  Thanks.
