Do you have an example of how that would work?

For example, these did not work for me:

$ man bash +/HISTFILE
man: bash-+/HISTFILE: No such file or directory
man: +/HISTFILE: No such file or directory
No manual entry for +/HISTFILE

$ man +/HISTFILE bash
man: +/HISTFILE-bash: No such file or directory
man: +/HISTFILE: No such file or directory
No manual entry for +/HISTFILE
