Gentlemen, as you know when you do M-x man and get the prompt
   Manual entry (default blabla):
there is no TAB completion.

Well as many of the man pages are the same names as shell commands, why
not just use the same completion as shell-command and
shell-command-on-region use?

It's better than nothing, and one can still enter other names too.
