[Documentation] Parameter expansion: missing colon in example

Hello,


The example on parameter expansion[1] should perhaps read :

$ echo ${v:-unset}

instead of :

$ echo ${v-unset}

Yes ? More context:

---8<---
${parameter:-word}

If parameter is unset or null, the expansion of word is substituted. Otherwise, 
the value of parameter is substituted.

$ v=123
$ echo ${v-unset}
123
--->8---

Thanks !
