I think we need to keep the current behavior. Changing it might break a
plugin and upset those who are used to the current behavior.
I do think that "2gt" should have meant "go two tab pages forward", but
now that it already means "go to the second tab page", and people are
likely using that, we can't change it.
So we need a command to go two tabpages forward. For the Ex command we
could use ":tabforward 2".
But it's more useful to have a neighbor to "gt". There is no obvious
one...
