Hi,

What sort of behaviour is most reasonable when providing a man manual to 
the new -Tman?  I think this should be ironed out before the release. 
The mandoc manual says "-Tman only with mdoc" and, if man is provided to 
-Tman, outputs nothing (like -Tlint).

It makes the most sense to me to output the original file (after 
preprocessing, I guess).  All this requires is a duplicate buffer in 
read.c (conditional on -Tman being present to avoid overhead in normal 
usage).  I don't like the idea of putting out an error (or nothing at 
all) because it special-cases modes for input.

Thoughts?

Kristaps
