Uhm, no, didn't think of it to be honest...
Depends what the intended use is. If it's a bad hack for myself, I only
put in --help to jog my memory. I have 2.5MB of those hacks now - the
least embarrassing ones I put online, but I'm afraid even those only
have --help and no manpage. Not much text, but all of the guts there is
to say is there.

Just to pick one at random: man cut doesn't really say anything more
than cut --help.

Btw is the list rather sporadic the last 2 days, or is Paradise's mail
server having problems again?
