Log Message:
Drop "show or set the limit on" legalese from the description of each
and every option to ulimit built-in. The show-or-set text is already
supplied *both* before and after the list. Pedantically repeating it
for each option just adds a lot of visual clutter that gets in the way
of actually using this fragment of the manual page as a quick
reference.
