For that example, sure.  But what about false hits in the concept
index?  Do we really want them to pop up?

Are we going to single-case the libc manual?  If not, what do we do
with "info sit-for" or "info point"?

Well, Info manuals are simply not organized like that, so the `man'
model might not be applicable as easily as we'd like.

Btw, I feel quite frustrated sometimes when "man printf" shows me the
man page of printf(1).  I think that's about the worst guess as one
can get.
