If I change MANPATH, I don't see manpath getting changed. Worse, I used to set MANPATH in .zshenv. This results in manpath being empty. If I then do man the competion system seems to be saying "hey, manpath is empty so let's set both it and MANPATH to a default value". Result : my original MANPATH setting is trashed. I've had to set up manpath instead of MANPATH now in my .zshenv, which means that I can't go back to v3.1.5 conveniently. Conversely, it looks like setting PATH changes the value of path. I haven't tried assigning to path to see if it changes PATH. Is the functionality to change manpath when MANPATH is modified missing? I'd really like to continue setting MANPATH if I can.
