This is not a bug, but a work-around for the above bug that klxref(8) is
not a cross-tool, but should (ideally) be.

Yes, Peter asked to convert this to mdoc(7), and both I and Dima tried
this, but stumped with some issues that still got unanswered.  I assume
Peter and Boris are too busy (?) to handle this ATM.

For example, the prototype manpage mentions that -R is for recursive
behavior, but the actual code provides recursive behavior by default,
and -R is actually what for most other tree traversing utilities the
-H option does, i.e. "follow symlinks on the command line".
