I'm curious. Is this the only widely recognized shortcoming of POSIX?
I mean - either POSIX is riddled with numerous other mistakes - or
this is the only issue remaining to address before POSIX is

I suspect it is not the latter case, which suggests that there is a
list of other such instances where POSIX fails to implement long-
standing international standards.
