Many emacs commands are deficient in important way and Eduardo
identified and codified his observation in eev.  For example, many
commands jump to a buffer but do not allow me to jump to a specific
place in the buffer.  eev fixes this.

For example, this jumps to the place where -h switch is described:

(find-man "ls" "-h")

The example you provided does not have this.

There are other things that eev can do.
