Would it be useful to have man pages for built-ins, but make those man
pages disambiguation pages that explain that the command in question
is a shell built-in command, and how to find the relevant info on the
respective shell's main man page?

Another idea would be to make man look at $SHELL and serve up a
relevant man page on that basis. This would require adding that logic
to man though.
