Is my installation behind the times? 'man bash_builtins' doesn't exist on my system. Instead my bash man page has a 'SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS' section.

Actually the bash man page is so huge, it'd be nice to see it reorganized (as a man page, not an info page) along the lines of 'man perl', as in index into other major parts of bash. 'man perl' is an existence proof that you can make large subjects man-friendly.
