I was going to make a plea that you shouldn't embed this inconsistency between object location and man section. Heck, at one level, this makes this a bug in the proposed man command, not just our file system layout. However, there are so many of these, (and we will probably never "fix" them,) what you propose is probably the right thing to do. You should add a sentence about this as a NOTE in the updated man manpage. Did I mention this made my day? - cheers, - jek3
