Indeed. I usually float between different customers, with different *IX
brands -- of course, not all of them use coreutils, but that's life. Not
all of them deploy PERL, or Python, or MySQL (which provides 'perror'
for that).

But, if I could rely on all that deploy coreutils to have something like
that it would make my life much more simpler.

Of course, it can still be a contrib-type of thing -- but it would be there.
