True then and true now.  Look at the bash manual.  EXPANSION is a
section; Brace Expansion a subsection.  Looking for "expansion"
insensitive to case is tedious:

$ man bash | tr \  \\n | grep -ci expansion
man: Formatting manual page...
235

The bash manual may be the single best object lesson in why less(1) is
a good viewer, convenient in many ways, but suboptimal because it gives
the user no structural document navigation.
