Documention error for true, false

[Keith Thompson]

I'm using sh-utils 2.0 under SunOS 5.7.

The documentation for the "false" command (excerpt from doc/sh-utils.texi)
says:

] @code{false} ignores @emph{all} command line arguments, even @samp{--help}
] and @samp{--version}, since to do otherwise would change expected
] behavior that some programmers may be relying on.

Likewise, the documentation for "true" says:

] @code{true} ignores @emph{all} command line arguments, even @samp{--help}
] and @samp{--version}, since to do otherwise would change expected
] behavior that some programmers may be relying on.

In fact, this is true only if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT
is set.

Also, unlike most other GNU commands, true and false recognize --help
or --version *only* if it's the only argument, and only if it's spelled
out in full.  I won't quite argue that this is a bug, but I suggest it
should be documented.
