Title:
  provide manpages for shell builtins

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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).
