Hmm. If you're unaware that type is a builtin, when using zsh 'man type' 
actually gives me BASH_BUILTINS(1). If I don't know what a builtin is, 
and read about type in there, it tells me that '-t' is a valid option.

Perhaps when you do 'man type' or any other of the builtins, you should 
be shown the man page for the shell you're actually using?
