who is working exactly as documented. There is nothing _to_ validate - the documentation states that who changes its behavior merely because of the _presence_ of two arguments, without regards to the contents of those arguments. | "Who abcd abcd" has | no meaning when the purpose was "who am I", and both throw same output. As designed. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
