Well, it does now.  Stan wrote one.  In fact:
	dkk> man bm | wc  
	      66      71     610
	dkk> 

That's 66 lines of man page for a 2-line shell script (with one line
of shell, and one line of script...).  Interesting excerpts from the
man page:
	BUGS:  Jon Kamens hates this program.

	Printed 3/24/89          March 23, 1988

Additional bug: wrong year...

This flame war has been really amusing, but also most informative in
that I now finally know why I had so much trouble getting "man" to
work with the MANPATH variable...
