That is my recollection as well. We would do well to take a look at the
code (and CVS logs) from NetBSD; they may have solved the i18n issues by
now.
There may also be a few missing features: someone mentioned -g, which is
apparently similar to yet somehow different from -n, in weird and
wonderful ways which the authors did not bother documenting. Last I
checked, it also (rather surprisingly) lacked -u (unique), which is
required by POSIX.
