On further reflection, this is tricky. The toc-page directive
generates references to anchors on the target page; click on one
and it takes you to the page in question. But now, when generating 
that page, we need to have an anchor to act as the target of the
link. That's what the toc directive does. Without the toc, there
are no anchors, unless you insert them manually.

So what we need is a "silent toc" directive -- it generates
anchors but no toc list. This needs a suitable markup
variant, such as (:^toc:) for "not toc", in contrast to
(:*toc:) and (:#toc:).

More reflection needed, I think.
