It's also painful not to have -pipe.

POSIX.2 doesn't follow style(9) for many commands :-).
E.g., for mv:
POSIX:
mv [-fi] source_file target_file
mv [-fi] source_file ... target_dir
-current man page:
mv [-f | -i] source target
mv [-f | -i] source ... source directory
[^need an underscore here]
-current usages message:
mv [-f | -i] src target
mv [-f | -i] src1 ... srcN directory
[^^^^wrong if only 1 source]
FreeBSD doesn't follow the consistency rule here.
