I'm wavering about the advisability of this. Unlike eqn and pic, the tbl language is pretty small. Unlike those two, we completely present it in the tbl man page. The others mostly cover GNU extensions. (refer(1) also covers the whole preprocessor language.) Also, as it stands, I'm pretty pleased with (I might dare say proud of), our tbl man page since I rewrote it top to bottom. It might be worth seeing what feedback we get on it from the community.
In discussion (see http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2022-09/msg00011.html and downthread), no one outright opposed the proposal, though Ingo (and Doug, sort of indirectly) questioned the necessity of a tbl(1) at all, since it would have little information. Alex pointed out that the man page still needs to exist merely to document the command's existence, even if there is little else to say about it.
