Hi Alexander, That does give some clarity and do appreciate it.
It looks like info(1) needs to go as a link.. I will submit a pull request. But this brings me to a larger question/possible issue: Is there a way to coordinate manual page updates? I see a lot of effort and guidance on the documentation portion but not manual pages.

I investigate suspicious links with that command and whereis(1), but I feel like I need to at least glance over the pages or it gets too meta.
