[Groff] .URL, .TAG interaction for non-Thtml |

The .URL and .TAG macros defined in www.tmac have the following behavior when
processed by a device other than -Thtml.
.TAG label
.URL #label foo
produces
foo <#label>
The text <#label> isn't informative because the printed document has no #label
that the reader can determine. Would it not be better if instead of the text
<#label> we have the number of the page where the .TAG was called?
Furthermore, .TAG could take an optional second argument which could take place
of the page number.
Just a suggestion. Right now, URL #label produces text in non-Thtml that
doesn't carry information.
