--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
For reference these were originally introduced in commit
b107f944adcc3cb203dd283c45c7be193b3f8ada with the message

    POSIX requires these shell builtins to also exist as totally pointless
    external commands.  Since they serve no useful purpose, it's OK that their
    implementation is not the most efficient possible.
