Although I disagree that adding a C prerequisite to PHP ends this discussion, using pman is a
related topic which can be installed like so:
pear install doc.php.net/pman
Then, simply 'pman in_array' or similar will open local php man pages in shell. However,
the pman files have not been updated for awhile so we'll look into this. Oh, guess we should
create a 'pman pman' too.
