Yes, it is much easier to type two quote characters and paste in the
middle of them than to paste then mangle to one of the accepted forms:

man 'ls(1)'
man '<paste>'<enter>

man ls.1
man <paste><backspace><ctrl+left><backspace>.<enter>

man 1 ls
man <paste><backspace><backspace><backspace><ctrl+left><remember section>1 
<enter>
