It's also painful not to have -pipe.

POSIX.2 doesn't follow style(9) for many commands :-).

E.g., for mv:

POSIX:
mv  [-fi] source_file target_file

mv  [-fi] source_file ... target_dir

-current man page:
mv [-f | -i] source target
mv [-f | -i] source ... source directory
                             [^need an underscore here]

-current usages message:
mv [-f | -i] src target
mv [-f | -i] src1 ... srcN directory
                     [^^^^wrong if only 1 source]

FreeBSD doesn't follow the consistency rule here.
