I like the idea, but the -l flag conflicts with a different usage for
SVR4 derived makes (on at least AIX, Irix, and Solaris):
-l load
Specifies that no new jobs (commands) should be started
if there are others jobs running and the load average
is at least load (a floating-point number). With no
argument, removes a previous load limit.
Maybe this should instead be a -d sub-option?
And I like the idea of adding the -l functionality described above.
