This reverts commit bd18736ee5.

Bare variables should only be used in commands that must
manipulate the variable stack, such as `set`.

# The original implementation trimmed off the top 5 lines and bottom 3 lines
# from the nroff output. Perhaps that's reliable, but the magic numbers make

# column, but fish manpages only leave NAME like that, which we want to trim
# away anyway.

# blank line, to duplicate the default behavior of `man`, or more accurately,
# the `-s` flag to `less` that `man` passes.
