Documentation

Parent mode for Man-mode like modes.

This mode is here to be inherited by modes that need to use commands from Man-mode. Used by woman.
(In itself, this mode currently does nothing.)

In addition to any hooks its parent mode special-mode might have run, this mode runs the hook man-common-hook, as the final or penultimate step during initialization.
