Then get writing! I'm bet gcc would accept a C language syntax page.
However, like I said, it would probably need to be a single C syntax
page. That's the way perl does it for example.
I don't think any other language has individual man pages for
syntactical elements. Otherwise, you end up with massive conflicts; who
gets the man page for "{", "+", ";", etc.?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
