(The former is a Linuxism.) At this point in time, it's only really useful if your shell is /bin/sh or /bin/csh, as it tends to get confused otherwise. It also needs more help text contributed, and it's a bit Linux-centric still. However, it's quite promising. Feedback to the author would be good too.
