I disagree that "we == PSARC" for that case.  Give guidance, yes, but
it is not PSARC's job to make the final decision.

You have already asserted (in the CLIP case) that the GNU utilities are
in a different CLIP 'burb than the Sun/POSIX ones - you can't use CLIP to
justify both positions.

Either they are the same "Rome", in which case they need to follow
the same CLI design pattern, or they aren't, in which case they
don't need to be treated the same 64-bit way.

It's a fasttrack.  Times out next Friday.  I won't be able to make next
week's Wed PSARC meeting.
