Re: doc-strings of the 'command' built-in, as output by help

When running 'help command' in the shell, the output contains:

       -v    print a description of COMMAND similar to the `type' builtin
       -V    print a more verbose description of each COMMAND

This seems to be opposite to the actual behaviour of 'command', in which
'-V' (capital V) produces output similar to 'type'. The text within the
Bash man-page appears to be correct.

Thanks for the report.
