My 2ยข on the subject of native awk.
The only "native" features I have wanted are:

        utf-8 clean - honestly I don't know if it is
        alreay but my suspicion is that it is not.

        an input parsing mode which respects rc tokenizing rules,
        this would make things like du -a | awk more reliable in the
        face of weird filenames.
