   - The whatis(1) utility looks for whole words in Nm.
     If the file name of a page does not agree with the contents of any
     of its Nm macros (e.g. pool(9)), add the file name as an Nm entry
     to the mandoc.db as well, such that whatis(1) finds it.
     If there is a page with a file name that does not appear as a substring
     neither in Nm nor in Nd, the same fix would allow finding that page
     with apropos(1) using the file name as a key, as well.
