(Also, I have a contract starting in a couple of weeks where I'll need to learn some ioctl(2), so this refactor will help get me started.) When I finish that refactor, I'll rebase on master and fast-forward master to it. Then, I'll probably release 6.9. I plan to release 6.9 before the end of this month, after which I'll merge another massive churny patch, MR.sed, which will be the main change in 6.10, which I might release in July. BTW, I will probably cherry-pick your patch to master later today, not waiting for the rest of the ioctl(2) branch. Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
