It certainly seems like a useful feature. But I just worry about it causing a comparability nightmare. For example, scripts parsing the json (or similar format) from Coreutils. But then being unusable on BSD, Solaris, etc. I guess you could always build Coreutils there though... Thanks, Collin [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2025-05/msg00013.html
