I love this reply, thank you Evan for providing such good help
to users on our mailing list.

By the way, if users feel totally lost and have no idea whatsoever
what "ulimit" might be, they can also try

  $ man -ak any=ulimit

or even

  $ man -akO tag=ulimit any=ulimit


That said, i feel almost tempted to make

  $ man -akO tag=ulimit

a shortcut for "man -akO tag=ulimit any=ulimit" because having to
specify the search term twice (once to search the databases for
pages containing it, then again to search inside all the selected
pages for the definition(s) of the term) does feel rather awkward.

Then again, there is lots of rotting fish lying around that needs
frying more urgently, so don't hope for a quick implementation...

Yours,
  Ingo
