Summary 0000705: Add hash, type and ulimit to regular built-in utilities
Description Like cd, getopts, read, umask and wait, the utilities hash, type and ulimit are most simply implemented within the shell. hash reports on or modifies a list within the shell environment. type may report on aliases and functions only known within the shell environment. ulimit may modify a process property which would not affect the shell if it were to be done in a child process.

Note that the current standard requires that hash, type and ulimit be exec'able (the latter two only for XSI implementations).
Desired Action Add hash, type and ulimit to the table in XCU 1.6 and the table in XCU 2.9.1.1 1.c.

hash is in the base, while type and ulimit are under the XSI option and may thus require shading.

For the record, when doing the TC2 merge I have had to use a different solution for 2.9.1.1 since it is not possible to shade entries in a table. I have added hash to the table and altered the introductory text to mention type and ulimit:

If the command name matches the name [XSI]of the type or ulimit utility, or[/XSI] of a utility listed in the following table, that utility shall be invoked.

In 1.6 I have added all three to the table - I don't believe type and ulimit need shading there.
