Man Pages in Text?

I'd like to turn all of my manpages into text, uncompressed.

Can I do this and still use man? I've gone through man man and
man catman, but don't see a way to do this.

I want to do this so I can add notes to the manpages and so
that they don't take so long to load.

Any reasons why I shouldn't do this?
