My 2¢ on the subject of native awk.
The only "native" features I have wanted are:
utf-8 clean - honestly I don't know if it is
alreay but my suspicion is that it is not.
an input parsing mode which respects rc tokenizing rules,
this would make things like du -a | awk more reliable in the
face of weird filenames.

can't this be done within an awk program?
