 As a reminder: netbsd-6 sources' default man.conf establish
 'n', 'l', '3F' and '3f' as valid, non-numeric sections. Also,
 valid sections are not predefined, but configured via man.conf(5).
 
 Imho, apropos/makemandb couldn't care less which section it's
 indexing (except for, of course, it using an integer at the
 moment to store the section. Then that's just a plain bug, too.)
