Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'm using BSD's "calendar" to print dates of interest at each opening of
a terminal (in fact, of a shell...).

As you can guess, I need the number of entries to be as low as possible
in order not to pollute my screen.

For the moment, I use "calendar.french", but there are too many entries
there. I'd like to use only the files
"/usr/share/calendar/fr_FR/calendar.fetes and
"/usr/share/calendar/fr_FR/calendar.jferies".

I've tried with multiple "-f" options, but then "calendar" defaults to
its basic behaviour: using "calendar.all".

My first remark is the following: I think there's a bug here since it
does not warn the user that there is an error in parsing the command
line.

My second remark is : does anyone knows an option/trick I could use to open 
multiple calendar files? I've tried the following, but it does not work:
calendar -A 3 -B 3 <(cat /usr/share/calendar/fr_FR/calendar.{fetes,jferies})

Thanks
