In some cases it is no API but just an interactive command. Sometimes it
can be used from other code, sometimes it requires to copy-paste enough
implementation details to achieve a similar effect.
While man.el requires "just" resetting cache and disabling case
sensitivity, woman.el needs to initialize cache before invoking a
completion function. When woman.el is considered in isolation, it is not
an issue that `woman-file-name' is not decomposed into smaller functions
since there is no need to reuse parts of its code. However it becomes an
obstacle when another package tries to interact with woman.
Side note: I am afraid of behavior divergence for `man' and
`org-insert-link' in future, but I have not figured out what API I would
expect.
