Thanks. Nearly there :)

Sorry about all the interface discussions, but interface
to coreutils commands is very important given the size of the audience
and the affect it has on all future shell scripts etc.

How about removing the --current option as it's now redundant.
A whole option to do nothing seems wrong. Also I think "available" is
more understandable than "current". Perhaps the various (future) sets
might be better as an option parameter. I.E how about:

  nproc --count={all,available}

with --count=available being the default operation.

cheers,
Pádraig.
