Yikes, so it does! Egg on my face.

I would still suggest something to make things a bit more clear.
Specifically, let's explicitly include the place where the binaries live
in SYNOPSIS section of the manpage, since both dash and bash are subject
to this confusion. The below does just this - the implementation would
require adding sed to build_deps, but that would be easy to remove if
it's deemed worthwhile.

A similar hack could be used on other utilities that have corresponding
builtins in bash - /usr/bin/time comes to mind.
