Public bug reported: For users who are new to console usage it might be hard to figure out shell builtins. In some cases it seems not overly wrong to break the deal that manpages ought to refer to commands and either provide pages for shell builtins or - better - refer to the `SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS` section of the manpage of `bash` (or to the section of the builtin directly - this is more confusing because the user has to scroll up to the section on builtins to figure out why this section has been opened, but provides easier access to usage information).
