    New bob command 'mkdir' (implicitly, -p).
    
    This differs importantly from 'in <dir> do mkdir <subdir>' in that
    plain mkdir is legal in a configuration file, so you can assign global
    config directories such as $(workdir) to locations that might not
    exist (e.g. on regularly cleaned filesystems), and be assured that if
    they don't exist, bob will create them again whenever necessary.

    Remove an outdated parenthesis in documentation.
    
    Originally, the keyword 'do' in the syntax 'in DIR do COMMAND' was
    more or less redundant; there was no reason I couldn't have made the
    syntax simply 'in DIR COMMAND', and found the start of COMMAND by
    counting words. That would have been terser, so I wrote an aside in
    the docs apologising for not having done it.
    
    But it turns out that I had a good idea after all (though I can't
    remember whether I had anything remotely like this in mind). I've
    since introduced the syntax 'in DIR with FEATURE do COMMAND', so now
    the 'do' _is_ performing a useful syntactic function after all, in
    that it tells you whether a 'with' clause is coming next or not. So I
    retract my apology.
