- I sort of agree with your point, but I don't feel like making
- changes in the interface without knowing what if anything standards
- say on the issue. Note that SVR4 (and Solaris2) does *not* act as
- you request. Now, we can be better than SVR4, but that requires
- sitting down and thinking about what the various options should
- do, and what the output should look like. It also requires research
- into standards and existing implementations. We don't have time for
- this, but would welcome a volunteer to do this.
