This comment refers to the fact that upstream coreutils no longer
accepts 'sort +0' syntax (instead use 'sort -k 1').  In fact,
coreutils has behaved this way for a long time; we have just been
patching in the old behaviour every time someone complains.

Sooner or later, these applications will have to get used to the POSIX
syntax.
