Very cool. Have other Plan 9 distros picked this up? Just wondering.

I looked at https://9p.io/plan9/ and also 9front and neither has the change.

I don't think either is particularly maintained at this point.

(I made the change in the Unix port of the tools, https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/.)

Best,
