not that I'm addressing this with the getconf builtin,
I'm trying to get the big picture of why one system
would have multiple /usr/*/bin/getconf

I had viewed getconf(1) as a name (string) interface to
{ sysconf pathconf confstr } that provides limits and
capabilities for user applications

can the values that change between /usr/*/bin/getconf's
be neatly classified/categorized for my big picture?
would it be only the static minmax values that change?
