> man emacs RET
vs
> M-x man RET emacs RET

I largely agree.
There's also

  M-: (man "emacs") RET

You could easily make the surrounding parentheses implicit (or
pre-inserted), so that would be

  M-: man "emacs" RET

So the main remaining problem is the quotes.
After all, for other functions, you'd want

  M-: describe-function 'car RET
