I added an alias for this, thanks for informing me.

Btw, I don't want to go into a big discussion about aliases and whether or not
texdoc should be "smart", but indeed the goal is to provide the user with
something more effective and TeX-specific than the usual Unix tools, and to help
in the cases where package authors use generic or otherwise hard-to-guess
filenames. For the record, there are only 175 alias entries for about 4500 TL
packages, which seems to me like a reasonnable rate, and quite maintainable.

Thanks again,
Manuel.

PS: anyway, in this case -l yells the desired result second out of two, which
tends to prove the heuristics are working pretty well even if the first result
isn't the expected one.
