That was the intention in asking first.  Without wanting to be purely
argumentative, I believe that enhancing ps(1) does not mandate
enhancing the debuggers, although there may be other mundane utilities
that might require a similar extension.  It is not large, complex or
error prone (give or take that psu(1) has a minute amount of trouble
with it).  So _I'm_ willing to draw the line, if anyone else feels a
similar desire.

And a good reason it is too, but I think it is unnecessarily
restrictive to compel its use under all circumstances.  On the other
hand, we still have our "arbitres elegantiarum" (I hope my Latin isn't
letting me down) to lay down the rules and we ought to listen to them.
