Thank you for sharing this, hope it gets accepted.

I've recently encountered a problem where I wanted to execute some code for
every new line in a set of files, but the code would be different for each file.
This "==> name <==" format is standard across systems, but it's awkward to
parse. Would OpenBSD be open to a different, non-standard and optional output
format that prefixes each line with "fname:" if there are multiple input files,
much like grep does?
