should "kill --list" actually work on my f20 system?

  first time i noticed this -- was demonstrating the "kill" command in
a training course this week, showed "kill -l", had students check man
page for "kill" which suggested that "kill --list" should also work,
but:

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

  am i doing something wrong? man page also suggests:

  -L, --table
        Similar  to  -l,  but  will print signal names and their corresponding
        numbers.

  but:

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

  should those work? am i missing something? is it a bug?

p.s. the synopsis on the man page says nothing about "-L".
