Oh, it's about speed for me really.  If man-db was faster I expect I'd
think different (as the saying goes :-).

Another motivation for me keeping the whole lot is my perl page-at-point
helper which looks for a suffix of a page name for a shorthand of
otherwise long perl classes.  It means an immediate lookup on any
class-like thing at point, which is upcase or :: at the moment.
