Hrumf. Can't use LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8 or else ASCII examples get turned
into smart quotes oversmartness:
$ env|egrep LC\|zh
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LANG=zh_TW.utf8
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8
$ man bash|grep /bfox|cat -v
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/var/mail/bfox?"You have mail":~/shell-mail?"$_ has
$ LC_CTYPE=C man bash|grep /bfox|cat -v
 MAILPATH='/var/mail/bfox?"You have mail":~/shell-mail?"$_ has
So in emacs I must do (setq manual-program "LC_CTYPE=C man")
but what about in the shell? man --ascii apparently is something different.

I can no longer cut and paste examples from man pages, I mean weren't
those examples meant to be ASCII? Am I to blame?
