 I am open to ideas, but so far the two options above are better than 
anything else that has been so far suggested...

One option would be to support "man foo bar" showing the page labelled 
foo-bar.  That way you'd get at least a modicum of bass-ackwards 
compatibility.

I am all for bass-ackwards compatibility, and I think the suggestion of 
going on "man foo bar" :

  1) look for foo-bar; if success, terminate search
  2) look for foo
  3) look for bar
  ....

may be acceptable - I don't see drawbacks at a first glance, and it 
would allow for groups of pages to be meaningful.

Are you willing to put your patch where your mouth is? :-)

  Best -F

However, at some point we have to be willing to do things other 
platforms won't, or we'll never do anything new...
