Looking around I found that it caused confusion with libwhich[0] (a program like `which` for dynamic libraries).
There's an issue opened[1] about it working differently on musl then it does on other systems.
But I wonder if it causes any problems...
Looking at the code, it looks like Apple systems do the same thing as musl and they treated it individually by skipping the first program on the report (itself)[2]
Might be worth checking what other systems do (BSDs especially I think) before making the decision.
A clarification on POSIX should also take place. Is that a too bureaucratic process?
