I'd like to see $ppid for the value of getppid(2). This makes it
trivial to know if you have an absolute login shell, $ppid == 1.
Yes, I know it's not foolproof in these days of telnet, rlogin,
and xterms, but it's still something i'd like to see.

Uhhh, ever thought using $0? Or checking for a variable?
