The output of "help <builtin>" suffers from various indentation problems.
E.g., an excerpt from "help history":
...
-a append history lines from this session to the history file
-n read all history lines not already read from the history file
-r read the history file and append the contents to the history
list
-w write the current history to the history file
and append them to the history list
-p perform history expansion on each ARG and display the result
without storing it in the history list
-s append the ARGs to the history list as a single entry
...
The problem is that the documentation in builtins/*.def is written
starting in column 1 and includes tab characters, but the help
output is then indented by BASE_INDENT (4) characters.
Affects at least 4.2.x, 4.3.x.
