Re: bash built-ins `true' and `false' undocumented

I am writing to follow up on this old bug report about the lack of
documentation for the bash built-ins 'true' and 'false'. I agree with the
previous arguments on why these built-ins should be documented in 'info
bash',
and I would like to add two more reasons:

- The commands 'true' and 'false' that are documented in 'info coreutils'
are
  different from the bash built-ins with the same names, so documenting
them in
  'info bash' wouldn't count as duplication.
- The built-ins 'true' and 'false' are the only ones that are missing from
  ‘info bash’, which makes them inaccessible to the commands 'info bash
true'
  and 'info bash false'.

Thanks for your attention.
