Nice thought. But it would violate POSIX if done by default, and doing it by
other that default would require the invention of a new option - and what are
the chances that a newbie is going to be aware of the existence of a new GNU-
specific flag?
I think we're stuck with educating people about POSIX via a FAQ.
