The existence of such functions on other OS does not verify that they have been
defined in a sane way. Linux e.g. also defines RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and the way it
has
been implemented, it makes rightful/privileged calls to
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) not working as expected.....
The ulimit(1) POSIX documentation _only_ mentions "-f file bloks". All other
functionality is beyond the ulimit(2) call.
Given the fact that even the current set of ksh93 ulimit(1) options is beyond
the {get!set}rlimit() set, I see no reason to require new functinality to be
implemented using {get!set}rlimit().
