Or actually I *won't* necessarily have to change my version of tr, because
the real point of this thread isn't to get my own changes accepted, it's to
get *some* reasonable multibyte implementation of the utilities, regardless
of whose it is, into the standard coreutils distribution.

OK, that seems reasonable, since as far as I know, no one implements the
POSIX notation for constructing multibyte characters out of adjacent octal
escapes anyway, and the standard has already backed off from supporting
them in ranges. I'll have to change mine to leave characters decomposed
until

Please see previous discussion here:
I am now tracking which of Assaf's tests my implementation passes and fails
in https://github.com/ericfischer/coreutils/issues/2. The ones that fail
seem to be because:
* I have not implemented cut -n
* My tr will not remove bytes from the middle of characters
* Linux and MacOS disagree about
Thanks for the feedback.
To clear one thing up at the start: I am not Eric Blake, so the earlier cut
-d patch is not mine.
Thanks also for clarifying the license requirements. I will follow up with
Mapbox legal to find out how we can work with this.
Sebastian, I think you may have been testing

Hi,
If there is only one column in the input, then an out-of-range field
spec will result in the print of the whole line.
$ cut -f 3 <<< $'a' | xxd
000: 610a a.
Otherwise, an empty string is printed.
$ cut -f 3 <<< $'a\tb' | xxd
000: 0a

I have checked the Eric's effort on the multibyte support for coreutils.
The work done seems solid.
Thank you for pitching in to the multibyte effort!
(and your previous patch for "cut -d" is on my TODO list, I haven't
forgotten it).
