Note, however, that (a) some stuff simply doesn't belong into man
pages (e.g., details of troff internals – the perl way of having
zillions of man pages is not very attractive to me), and that (b) info
files can be far more explicit, accompanied with examples, say. So
both have a sensible purpose, but there is a very large, unavoidable
overlap in information.
