I think this is how `M-x woman' has always worked -- instead of typing
in a section and a word (as you do with `M-x man'), you use a file
browser to choose the manual.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods (for instance, in
`M-x man' you aren't notified that there's a page for the topic in
several sections), but the `M-x woman' method (sometimes) more choosing.

So I think everything here works as designed?  Anybody got an opinion
here?
