Indeed, ls, grep, git and many many modern cli tools use this convention.

ls and grep have done it for ages, and we're all happier for that.

As many others, I am learning systemd and I have my moments of doubt,
confusion, and "argh, too much change under my feet".

But the output formatting on a tty?!

Let's have interesting discussion of systemd -- lots of things that
were familiar are now new and strange. But keep overreactions in
check, and the discussion technical and productive.

cheers,
