BTW given that -f was broken for so long (6 years)
it lends more weight to making -f behave like -F by default.
Note POSIX allows (and even implies this),
and openBSD -f behaves like -F for example.
Not something appropriate for coreutils 8.x,
and I'd be 60:40 against changing in a later major release,
but it's worth mentioning.
cheers,
Pádraig.
