--- Comment #2 from Benjamin Kaduk <bjk at FreeBSD.org> ---
As noted in comment 1, these expansion syntaxes are documented, albeit not in a
very obvious fashion.

bash is not part of the FreeBSD base system; the manual page for bash is
installed as part of the bash package,so issues with the bash manual page
should be reported to the bash upstream.

I will think about whether there are ways to reword the sh manual page to make
these syntaxes more clear.
