man -l (explicit or implicit) doesn't work with PAGER=eless

[jibal]

The reason being that rather than displaying the content passed to it as stdin, eless parses it, finds the man page name, and then invokes the emacs man command with that ... arguments to man like -l and thus ignored, and rather than getting the local file you tried to print, eless tries to display the system manual page. At the very least this deserves a huge warning in the documentation. I (and everyone else) expect a pager to display the data passed to it, not to drop the actual input data and secretly generate the data that it thinks is wanted.
