So what? There is no documentation about lots of options in
options(4), and but if someone removed some of them on that basis alone
they'd probably get lots of hate mail. The right approach is to
document an undocumented but useful facility, not to yank it out by
the roots because it isn't documented.

Yes, and that is easily fixed. There are also some other minor
problems that need fixing.

I'll fix the whole thing. We should also make a decision on whether we
want to ship with the html man pages as well.
