Did you mean you didn't want to go further beyond those Linuxes? Oh
my...I thought Bram's word "various systems" meant systems other than
Linux. OK, if you don't like my patch, it's also fine to me that I send it
here again separately, though I'm still wondering if we should go
separately.

Thanks, but now I know how to have MANPAGER work for Mac natively :)

":Man ls" has been working for me without MANPAGER and without you patch.
What I meant was: With your patch just prior to Bram's reply, I didn't see
any flaw with it (if my patch is used with it); but with the one you sent
after his reply, I saw some unnecessary artifacts on man pages even if my
patch is used with it; in particular, I got "+^H" to the left of each
bullet sign, \(bu (See groff(7)). Does this make sense?
