Hmm, not in the man page. In the man page, they're in two widely

I can confirm that. The man page is a bit clearer than the web page.
I have no objection to clarifying the wording, mind you. I simply
pointed out where it's documented, since you explicitly asked that.
I got it. I had first thought that that behaviour of the read builtin
was accidental. I think now that it was intentional to make it possible
to read a line as is, without having to modify the IFS variable.
The wording does not reflect the intention clearly, in my opinion.
