doc: include auto-generated manpages in repository
The 100kb or so doesn't hurt as much as not having manual pages at all without pandoc (+ not auto-updating them through make all) does.

combinations can be +bound to actions. +.PP +An action can be either a JavaScript expression, or a command defined in +the \f[V][cmd]\f[R] section of config.toml. +For example, the following works: +.IP +.nf +\f[C] +gpn = \[aq]n => pager.alert(n)\[aq] # e.g. 2gpn prints \[ga]2\[aq] to the status line +\f[R] +.fi +.PP +Note however, that JavaScript functions must be called with an +appropriate \f[V]this\f[R] value. +Unfortunately, this also means that the following does not work: +.IP +.nf +\f[C] +gpn = \[aq]pager.alert\[aq] # broken!!! +\f[R] +.fi +.PP +To work around this limitation, actions have to wrap the target function +in a closure, as above. +However, this has very poor reusability; for more complex actions, you +would have to copy and paste the entire function every time you re-bind +it or call it from a different function. +.PP +To fix this, it is possible to define a command in the \f[V][cmd]\f[R] +section: +.IP +.nf +\f[C] +[cmd.my.namespace] +showNumber = \[aq]n => pager.alert(n)\[aq] +\f[R] +.fi +.PP +\f[V]my.namespace\f[R] can be anything you want; it is to avoid +collisions when including multiple configs. +Avoid setting it to \f[V]pager\f[R] or \f[V]line\f[R], because these are +used by the default config. +.PP +Now you can call \f[V]cmd.my.namespace.showNumber()\f[R] from any other +function, or just include it in an action: +.IP +.nf +\f[C] +\[aq]gpn\[aq] = \[aq]cmd.my.namespace.showNumber\[aq] +\f[R] +.fi +.SS Interfaces +.SS Client +.PP +The global object (\f[V]globalThis\f[R]) implements the \f[V]Client\f[R] +interface.
