That's soooooo much better than having `undocumented.7' pop up.
I find the current behavior very frustrating, because the output
_looks_, at first glance, like a real man page, and it takes several
confused moments for me to realize that it isn't.
[Yeah, I know it says so explicitly about 37 times, but I think I'm
fairly typical of experienced users, in that I don't actually start out
_reading_ the man page from the beginning, but rather scan for various
patterns etc. related to what I want to find out.]
