Observation:
$ sort -k1.0,2
sort: character offset is zero: invalid field specification `1.0,2'
Now, this seems unnecessary to me; it *could* silently ignore the ".0" and
treat it as if you hadn't specified a character offset. (SCO does that.)
But, regardless, if that *is* going to be an error, then shouldn't this:
$ sort -k1,2.0
...be an error as well? It isn't.
