Syntax: .ERRB <argument>
.ERRNB <argument>
.ERRB generates a severe error if argument is blank. .ERRNB generates
an error if argument is not blank. Normally, these directives are used
within macro definitions; a macro parameter is replaced by an empty
string if you call the macro and do not give a corresponding argument.
These directives let you write macros that generate an error if the
wrong number of arguments are used in the macro call.
argument A name, number, or expression, though normally the name of
a macro parameter.
