That's a good thing to have, but it could be specified in a different way. One possibility is the '1' (digit 1) option, e.g., "timeout -1 FOO". Or if that's too clever, we could use some other letter for the option. > If we do I guess `timeout` should immediately exit(124). > This change in behavior would need a mention in NEWS anyway. Yes, that'd make sense.
