The main problem with who is that it would treat e.g. 'who is god' the same as 'who am i'. IMHO it is a Good Thing that who will accept filenames beginning with a hyphen. Who doesn't take *any* kind of option and therefore I think it is wrong to have it say 'unrecognized option' if the first argument begins with a dash. -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
