[gnu.org #1838744] Bash Manual, 3.6.2 Redirecting Inputs, SUGGESTION

[Therese Godefroy via RT]

Hello Bash maintainers,

Here is a challenging ticket. The requester complains about the 
association of "n" and "word" in "Redirecting Input" (image.png is a
screenshot of this chapter with the examples emphasized):
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Redirecting-Input

I'm going to tell him there is no guarantee that this can be changed.
For one thing, it would be difficult to find a letter that doesn't
take an unwanted meaning when associated with "word".

All the best,
Thérèse
