Just to chime in, my problem with the bash man page is knowing whether a given
command is a bash built-in or external command -- if built-in, I'll find
information within the man page.
I usually first look for a standalone man page, but if I don't find it, it could
be either because it is a bash built-in or because there is no manpage.
