There may well be multiple .Ix referring to the same tag, so then
t|T could be overloaded to jump to the next / last.  (At least
possibly that is.)

Also it would make sense to create a mark before an .Ix is
followed, so that '' (or a new '< or whatever) can be used to jump
back to where the user was before she followed the reference.
