It does. However, it doesn't look for .sty unless explicitly requested, hence
the aliases like 'url = url.sty'. Maybe texdoc could automatically look for .sty
files when no results are found, but it looked easier for me to generate those
aliases; .sty files already are a special case in many aspects in current texdoc.

Moreover, my personal opinion is that it is desirable that every package has a
documentation in pdf, html or txt format, so I didn't want to spend more code
than necessary on the .sty case, hoping that this special case would slowly
disappear :-)
