The documentation in tm.texi - which presumably provides the specification
of the requirements for this interface (as is to be provided by backends)
- says
The usual definition of this macro is as follows:
@example
fprintf (@var{stream}, "L%s%d:\n", @var{prefix}, @var{num})
@end example
By implication, the interface for users of the macro is that they must
pass an int. If this is changed, the documentation needs updating.
