Maybe referring more advanced/curious users to contrib/examples/ directory is a good idea, but not necessarily from manpages of the commands that have been rewritten in C.

I think contrib/examples/ needs a README file that effectively say "these are the last versions of shell script implementation of the commands before they were rewritten in C. New features may have been added to the built-in ones but these example scripts are not kept up to date. They are here to serve as examples to show you how you would pipeline the plumbing level commands."
