DW> POSIX.2, 2.11.3:
DW> Options: When this subclause is listed as `None' it means that
DW> the implementation need not support any options.
^^^^^^^^
DW> POSIX.2, 2.11.4:
DW> Operands: When this subclause is listed as `None' it means that
DW> the implementation need not support any operands.
^^^^^^^^
DW: Many thanks...
KV: Note the phraseology there, in particular the use of "need not"
with its inbuilt implication of "can, providing other conditions
are met"...
Best wishes from Riley.
