Re: [Groff] Bug report: interaction between tbl and string variables

The problem is that numerical alignment happens at tbl runtime,
not troff runtime, and tbl doesn't have the actual numbers
to work with, only your variable names.  I see two solutions:
either use right alignment and accept that "Page" isn't centered
over the column of numbers, or write a simple macro as a tbl
replacement for trivial tables that acts at troff runtime and
has access to the string values.
