* man(1) completion doesn't work on OpenBSD as manpath(1) isn't a thing on
that system; need to find some way of finding which manual directories
should be searched at runtime, if there is one.
+* mktemp(1) is not POSIX, though it's commonly available; where a temporary
+ file is unavoidable, it might be nice to abstract this with a wrapper
+ script that uses mktemp(1) if it can, but otherwise uses mkdir(1) with a
+ randomised name in "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}". Is mktemp(1) on every *BSD?
