Description Gary W. Swearingen 2003-01-30 21:30:00 UTC
1) The builtin(1) manpage lists several commands as not being external,
while they exist in /usr/bin/.

2) These builtins are not listed, nor do they have manpage links:
    .
    :
    @
    bind
    builtin

3) "builtin echo command" is not in keeping with the usage of "xxx
builtin command" of the "csh" and "sh" manpages.  (The latter two differ
in their hyphenation, but that's for a PR I probably won't write.)

4) The paragraph before the list could use some work.
