Thanks for doing that.
I see you missed my proposal from Nov,
which I didn't commit since I had a similar more complete
local patch set I was working on.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2022-11/msg00027.html

We ended up with almost exactly the same thing which is good.

Attached are some further tweaks,
which I've pushed just now.

Marking this as done.

cheers,
Pádraig
