This is why man.el currently uses a simpler solution:
(1) Call 'display-buffer' to display the buffer.
(2) Format the buffer in some way so that it fits into displayed size.

When a man page is not found, currently it reverts 'display-buffer'.
What benefits would be provided by the approach that uses
'display-buffer-try-and-revert'?
