I don't think that would catch my attention still...
Ah, no wonder, I've been spoiled: man pr calls it
-w PAGE_WIDTH, --width=PAGE_WIDTH
set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72) characters for multiple
text-column
output only
whilst man diff calls it
-W columns
--width=columns
Use an output width of columns in side by side format.
You could also use the eye catching PAGE_WIDTH wording without
having to change more than the man/info page.
