So now that busybox has merged my patch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=0068ce2fa0e3 Do we we poke coreutils or the austin group next? (Is there a plan _beyond_ adding it to busybox?) Possibly we want to wait for a busybox release or two and _then_ poke coreutils when versions of busybox with cut -DF show up in Linux distros? (Depends how much resistance and bikeshedding we expect from a gnu project.)
