 Unfortunately, the arguments and their types for each of these
 commands are defined to be different from each other in standards like
 the Single Unix Specification.  FreeBSD-current has a nice command in
 /usr/bin that conforms to a standard and changing the way it works
 would break compatibility with the standard.
 
 Similar things apply to renice(1).
