So we perhaps need to bump ${MAJ}?
Consumers of this interface == { df, du, ls, pkg_install, stat, pstat }
Of the N (<12) calls to the function, 6 of them (one of 2 in df, stat, 3
in pstat) actually use the returned value. Easy fixes (warnings only).
I don't believe this is a crisis. Make world has fixed worse problems.
