Hmmm, not that you mention libutil, I was only yesterday thinking that it's
a bit annoying that "man libutil" doesn't bring up a useful manpage.  Are
there any objections to making a manpage that doesn't include *all* the
details for the libutil functions but just pointers to the functions it
currently implements?

This is slightly different from, say, editline(3).  This is why I'm asking.
