But the man page doesn't just say "equivalent", it says "equivalent  (as
far  as  the  above execution of cmd is concerned". And the whole
paragraph is clearly just talking about the environment passed to an
executed program. The evaluation of a command's arguments is all done
as a separate thing.

If you can think of some better wording which doesn't clutter it up and
detract from the main point that is being made then I'll put it forward
to upstream.
