That's ok up to a point, but I'm not yet understanding why this kind
of reference makes sense in a manpage like dirname(1) or mailx(1) or
tmux(1) but not in the manpage for ssh.

It looks to me like ssh's manpage is already rather large, yes. But,
I'm not seeing the logic in referring to sftp (which uses the ssh code
base but is not necessary for the use of ssh) makes more sense than
referring to sh (which is used by ssh in most but not quite all
invocations).

Would this really ruin the man page? I guess maybe I should go away
and sleep on this, maybe I'll figure it out after a nap...

Thanks,
