This is a man page for sh's echo builtin. It is a little more extensive
but otherwise equivalent to the description in sh(1). It is different
from bin/echo/echo.1.

Unfortunately, sh's echo builtin and /bin/echo work differently. This
should not have been allowed to happen, but now we are stuck with it.

I suppose bin/sh/bltin/echo.1 can go away.
