Wouldn't be better to keep it simple and stupid? I mean almost nobody
has a clue about .c2, it's probably elegant way how resolve one

stuff.

I guess the problem with the no-break control character is very
unusual -- if yes, then it's better to fix the broken lines rather
than add ".c2" to the all man pages.
