    tmac/e.tmac: Refactor `bc` macro (again).
    
    * tmac/e.tmac (bc): To get to the next column, space by the page length
      `.p`, not by the distance to the next trap (or 24 inches, as
      hard-coded in me(7) traditionally).  It is up to any sprung traps to
      issue further space requests or otherwise ensure a transition to the
      next column.
    
    See <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55081> for discussion.
