The patch below documents the error for <file, which is consistent with =
the
documentation for the other redirection operators.

Not sure if there's really an issue with the rest; i've never assumed =

effect is
similar in the general case. But i guess the examples could be qualified =
as
'roughly' equivalent or whatever, idk
