Yes, that's probably a good idea. When I bailed out, I didn't think I
was going to resolve the issue any time soon, so I reversed all the
work, without looking twice to see which parts might have value added.

Right. I'm actually trying to come up with a design for wc-ng which
addresses this issue. I'm not sure it's actually worth the trouble of
trying to update wc-1.0 at this stage: the more things we fix, the
more it seems to get broken in unexpected ways.
By coming up with a completely new design, I hope to address many of
these issues. Maybe the new design can even guide further development
of wc-1.0 for a little while, fixing any long standing issues before
wc-ng materializes.
Bye,
Erik.
