>Description:

	
The sh(1) man page has many references to 4.4:

ncorporated into this shell.  We expect POSIX conformance by the
time 4.4 BSD is released.

-a    allexport
Export all variables assigned to.
(UNIMPLEMENTED for 4.4alpha)
-C    noclobber
Don't overwrite existing files with ``>''. 
(UNIMPLEMENTED for 4.4alpha) 
-u    nounset
Write a message to standard error when attempting
to expand a variable that is not set, and if the
shell is not interactive, exit immediately.
(UNIMPLEMENTED for 4.4alpha)
-b    notify
Enable asynchronous notification of background job
completion.
(UNIMPLEMENTED for 4.4alpha)
Enclosing the full parameter expansion string in double-quotes does not
cause the following four varieties of pattern characters to be quoted,
whereas quoting characters within the braces has this effect.
(UNIMPLEMENTED IN 4.4alpha) 


>How-To-Repeat:

	
	man sh

>Fix:
	
	
Remove the phrase about POSIX conformance being planned by the time
4.4BSD is released; replace it with one asserting POSIX conformance
if we believe that to be true.

Remove all references to 4.4 alpha; change them to ".Os FreeBSD x.x" if
they are true or remove the whole "UNIMPLEMENTED IN" phrase if they are not.
