Many parts of groff (especially preprocessors and macro packages) emit diagnostics to standard error without identifying where they are coming from.

As groff lends itself to deep pipelines and is an interpreted, extensible language on top of that, it's frustrating to not know which part of the system is barking at me when there is a problem.

I propose to make all tools and macro packages identify themselves when writing to stderr or using .ab, .tm, etc., if they do not already.
