@rsc use plan9port man in plumb/basic.

man bugs on debian:

9 man 7 regexp:

     A literal is any non-metacharacter, or a metacharacter (one of .*+?[]()|\^$), or the delimiter preceded by `\'.

2 more on the same man page: 9 man 7 regexp:

     A `.'  matches any character.

     A `^' matches the beginning of a line; `$' matches the end of the line.

Possibly other man pages are affected as well.

This won't work with plumbing non-plan9port man pages (eg. sh(1) ), which is ok with me, since I can always type 'man 1 sh', but I'm not sure about overall expected behaviour of plumb in plan9port.

Or maybe "fix" plan9port man page(s) to be displayed by linux man correctly. How to even check which pages are rendered differently?

It's possibly the best to leave plumb/basic as it is.
