When i am looking for where in a man page is the function "foobar"
explained, i don't want to care about if it is written with the first
letter in capitals, or if it has been sliced in half by an hyphenation
or if it has been pluralised... the computer should deal with these
problems, not me.
It is quite different from "Look"ing for a string in a file.
There will not be no problems if the man pages where written so you
could use "Look" for these task, as long as they are not, i will try
to implement a "semantic Look" and test it for a time, not as a
substitution of "Look" but as another verb.
