>From the procps man page:
  The -L flag is Linux-specific.

Also I would expect that the long options might be special or new, so
I'm not sure how willing bash will be to take a modification for this.

BTW - these are the allowed parameters from the bash Doc
Options:
  -s sig        SIG is a signal name
  -n sig        SIG is a signal number
  -l    list the signal names; if arguments follow `-l' they are
        assumed to be signal numbers for which names should be listed

Title:
  kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $man kill
  [...]
         -L, --table
                List signal names in a nice table.
  [...Examples section]
         kill -L
                List the available signal choices in a nice table.

  $ kill -L
  bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification

  I'm not sure if it is a doc or code error, but the actual behaviour is
  not what the doc describes...
