The bash manual page is a bit of a beast with nearly 5000 lines of text. 
Can be a bit of slog to search through especially if the term you are 
looking for is passingly referenced multiple times throughout the 
manpage.  I'd recommend using the bash-builtins manpage as it has only 
about 1500 lines of text (heh) and only covers bash builtin commands 
like complete. It's more concise and quicker to search.
