I thought "ESC 2 ESC x man kill RET" might get the kill(2) man page.
Or, in man mode, "2 m kill RET", might also...

                             ^
                             RET

That'd be nice, but it would mean changing the signature from
	(defun man (man-args) ...)
to something like
	(defun man (topic &optional section) ...)

In any case, it's only 1 character fewer than `M-x man RET kill(2) RET'.

That _would_ be nice, but it would require the same change.
