Hey Denys: any interest in adding cut -DF compatible with the toybox ones?

  https://landley.net/toybox/help.html#cut

Ala "cut -DF 3-5" selects words like awk '{print $3" "$4" "$5}'
and the test case in
https://github.com/landley/toybox/blob/master/tests/cut.test#L40 is doing "cut
-DF 2,7,5" to show order is preserved.

(I also added -C and -O and some other stuff, but -DF is the important bit
there's interested in standardizing.)

Rob

P.S. Sigh, they've added -z to coreutils. I should add -z too...
