AWESOME! Thanks for working on this! Best of luck!
I am commenting just because. I'm a guix contributor not a developer,
so please take my words with a grain of salt. :)
I believe that busybox has a more permissive license than coreutils? Is
that true? I think I heard rms suggest that one should develop for
coreutils more than busybox. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken
in some way.
Anyway, great job! And best of luck!
