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

[Dorai Sitaram]

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.
