+* Write to the POSIX standard for the shell and utilities where
+ possible. Issue 4 from 1994 is old enough that no contemporary system

* The "od" command on macOS can put extra space characters (i.e., spaces
that don't correspond to the input) at the ends of lines when using
the "od -t c" format; GNU od does not.
