    Correct.  A bit of googling brought up this page where Paul
    Eggert documents why the proposal is broken.

    It is not portable as the Mac OS X case shows.  It would be
    hard to convince a vendor to implement a certain feature, if
    even the proposal for that feature was rejected by the
    responsible language committee.
