With all due respect to your idea I would like to point out one thing. Man pages are meant to be read using the man(1) command for a reason. You wish to know what architecture and 'variant' is installed in your system and refer to the pertinent man page. In fact in many cases the ultimate authority of what feature is supported in your system is your installed man page. That said this facility is useful.
