I assume you have tested wc or read its source code and saw that the files are not shuffled or that someone messed the code intentionally to shuffle files just in case this conversation happens. My last email of 2024 is no more in this discussion, and some details of it are not working anymore. Yet another Internet gaslighting. Quibbling and nitpicking is not my taste. My patch works, it adds a needed feature, I don't see the point of arguing further, unless it is intentional that some people don't want me to contribute.
