Who is going to read the manual on an obscure program used in a shell script somewhere? Mostly likely, another dev whose never encountered recutils before, and probably long after the OG developer is gone.

The command itself is a `recsel -e`. Which is not even remotely humorous, unlike, say, `dwarfdump`.
