[Bug 1488939] Re: kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)

[ChristianEhrhardt]

I proposed a merge including my fix for further review
(https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/wily/bash/fix-
for-1488939/+merge/272916) and also started a discussion at bug-
bash at gnu.org to get their feedback regarding changing options. I will
add a link to the thread once it shows up in the archives.

Title:
  kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $man kill
  [...]
         -L, --table
                List signal names in a nice table.
  [...Examples section]
         kill -L
                List the available signal choices in a nice table.

  $ kill -L
  bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification

  I'm not sure if it is a doc or code error, but the actual behaviour is
  not what the doc describes...
