color scheme issue when nvim is set as man pager

[xorgal]

Describe the bug

When nvim is set as MANPAGER and opening single man page all works good. But, when opening another man page in a new buffer or just opening empty one then colors are being reset.

To Reproduce Set nvim as default pager export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!' and open it man nvim Open reference to another man page or just make a new buffer.

Expected behavior Do not change color scheme.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("StdinReadPre", {
  group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("stdinColors", {}),
  callback = function()
    vim.api.nvim_del_augroup_by_name "stdinColors"
    dofile(vim.g.base46_cache .. "syntax")
  end,
})

put this in custom/init.lua

Thanks for your comment @siduck, but don't you think this is just a workaround? A change should be added to the code so everyone could benefit.

@teklabania very less people read man pages through nvim! or pipe stdin stuff into nvim so yea, but that solution isnt a workaround. I'd have done the same in core/utils.lua's (lazy_load) function

Have you collected any statistics on this if you're so sure? ;)

Thanks for doing a change to core.

i'm just assuming :p .

if there will be more 3 users who bring up this same issue then i'll consider adding this thing into core

Actually, I do agree, nvim might not be the best candidate for viewing man pages. But sometimes it's very convenient to use multiple buffers when reading large page with plenty references.

Anyways, thanks for the fix @siduck, it did work indeed!
