I wasn't referring to anything in particular. I've just seen this several times in FOSS - I shouldn't have said Linux. The last example I noticed was shell scripts in the Portland project (portland.freedesktop.org). Its not important. I was just worried that my repeated comment of "Public have man pages" might be confused by this implementation. - jek3
