When you search the bash manpage for "modulo", you'll find nothing. Bash
of course does support the modulo function ("%") as part of the
arithmetic evaluation, but it is labelled "remainder" in the manpage.
Therefore, I suggest this little documentation patch:
diff --git a/doc/bash.1 b/doc/bash.1
index ec41462..eabb180 100644
--- a/doc/bash.1
+++ b/doc/bash.1
