In the man, there is shanty in the examples, but it is never mentioned in the explanation:

docs/sudoers.man.in
1936:aaron      shanty = NOEXEC: /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/vi
7643:aaron      shanty = NOEXEC: /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/vi

"In the following example, user aaron may run /usr/bin/more and /usr/bin/vi but shell escapes will be disabled."

It could be useful to state what is shanty in this context and include them in explanation

In https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/a8acf089535e I've updated the text to be:

In the following example, user aaron may run /usr/bin/more and /usr/bin/vi on the host shanty, but shell escapes will be disabled.
