Man-default-man-entry has problems:
(current-word) will be different depending on which kind of buffer we
are in.
My idea of potential man page names includes embedded periods, and
excludes pipes.
How could a pipe symbol be part of a man page name?
Embedded periods will sometimes split words depending on the mode we
are in.
There should be a refinement of the scope of potential man page names,
and indeed, there should be a variable to put this regexp into the
hands of the user if the default is unworthy.
And there should be shielding so current-word isn't affected by the
current mode. Perhaps turn on Man mode while the function is running.

In the current Emacs, this doesn't use current-word.
