# - Solaris is seemingly the only OS that doesn't allow the `man n page` syntax;

# - We assume that Linux distributions are using either man-db or mandoc
+# - @todo Would be nice to support completing the initial operand as a section
+# name (on non-Solaris systems)
+# - @todo We don't support the man-db syntax <name>.<section> (e.g., `ls.1`)

# - @todo Option exclusivity isn't super accurate
# - @todo Solaris man accepts a single hyphen as the first option to disable
# paging (like AIX's -c); we don't support that
