Right! I missed that from consideration. The excuse is that the intension
was to unify applets options and deprecate hardly detectable quirks.

<off>Though "setuidgid -- -a env" would solve the problem and albeit I admit
that backward compatibility should retain, the whole busybox itself shows
that unification and integration is good. Those who write #!/bin/bash at the
top of scripts create their problems themselves. The same do those who write
"tail -10". Why to support bad habits?.. Never mind, though...</off>
