- What about it? I fear it's a bit late and not sufficiently widely used
- to make it into POSIX, which is (mostly) supposed to be standardizing
- existing practice. [I'm among those who takes a dim view of the explosive
- growth of POSIX committees working on standards for subjects we don't
- even understand yet.] I suspect it would also be controversial, since
- some of us think getopt() does most of what's really needed.
