Thanks, I did not know that. Yet I think that the info pages are supposed to provide the definitive information about GNU software. So I still believe that it would be useful to list these builtins in the info pages, too. Certainly, the info pages are more useful for getting an overview. `help foo' only helps if you already have some idea of what you are looking for.
