No. I remember it coming up somewhere else too a couple years ago and that also producing no conclusions. I think what I suggested in the PR (making pages for the common builtins that crossreference shell docs) is a reasonable way forward if anyone wants to take it up; I might get to it eventually if nobody else does, but that isn't likely to happen soon. :-/ I think it might also be worth splitting the docs for builtins out of csh(1), which is too large; but those pages should be called something like csh.alias(1) or csh-alias(1). (I don't think teaching man to summon them based on $SHELL is a good idea, at least not until we or someone comes up with an overall master plan for modernizing how man page indexing, searching, and lookup works.) -- David A.
