That's certainly fair, but wouldn't it need to be used only once, after

that would require a tool to go from markdown to man, but at least it's a
thought.

That may be the point -- or not, I suppose, depending on one's point of
view. (I'm far past the point of being under 35 myself, for what that's
worth.)
