beyond the standard.

We already have: sort -h, in coreutils 7.5 (2009). Therefore, I'm
closing this bug.

For now I'm closing this bug, although you can continue to reply to it
for further discussion. Perhaps that means we should reopen this report
if someone is willing to write a do

you'd like to provide more information.

sleep duration). If we do add code to support multiple flavors of sleep
durations, I'd probably lean towards absolute wall time as the default.

you might want to consider upgrading.
I'm closing this bug, although you are still free

Actually, POSIX _does_ require multi-byte support; it's just that no one
has yet contributed code for this upstream that is easy enough to
maintain and without penalizing single-byte locales. Patches are welcome.
