Multi-page tbl tables don't like getting hdtbl pulled in -- both of them use .TH and groff hangs at the first tbl usage of .TH.

Yes, there are situations where you might want to mix tbl and hdtbl tables in a single document -- for example, in a transition from one to another, or you might mostly use hdtbl but need tbl for the occasional multi-page table.

I think the answer for now is to rename the hdtbl usage from .TH to .THD or something similar -- a trivial fix in the tmac file, but will also require fixing the manpage and examples.
