I would prefer php-manual. It's intuitive, and as you say, "more
descriptive of what it actually is". Isn't that where the "man" command
from? "manual <topic>"?

"docs" is slang; "manual" is a word people can look up. (Maybe not a
real problem, but why perpetuate something not necessary when a very
good alternative is available? :-)

There are various -manual files... you won't be setting a precedent.
