Having read the thread, I support the inclusion of this feature using -H as the top level option and H as the -k suboption. Stern warnings should be added about how input must be properly scaled for the feature to work. That said, I would also support the addition of a utility that will properly scale and descale specified fields of the input using multiple-precision arithmetic. -- Principles.
