I don't see how (2) is any tougher to grep than (3)...?
If I'm grepping, I'm usually concerned with things like variable/function names and not with punctuation, so if I were grepping for the above function signature I'd probably write:
$ grep 'fstat.*fd.*statbuf' man2/*
...which would catch either of the above just fine.
Am I missing something?
