Yes, but I don't think it's good to pour all the stuff into one manpage. If we
want to display help in man, I think we should keep each page concentrated
in one topic and be short. In short pages,  paginate is useless. If we want
to conjunct all the into a whole, then info is the solution. I think
info is hard to
use as well, but it "just works". There are also other info frontend like pinfo.
