I think they should for completeness, but I'm not user how useful dir is.  On 
my 
system, I have to page through about 1700 lines of GNU C library functions and 
macros from glibc to get to a useful view of the table of contents.  Looking at 
a RedHat distro, they have glibc last, but I don't know how to control setting 
the order of the entries without a special script.
