The command "_POSIX2_VERSION=0 sort --debug +8" says:

  sort: obsolescent key `+8' used; consider `-k 9' instead

which is good advice.  Hmm, maybe we should change --debug
so that it also outputs this advice when _POSIX2_VERSION
is not set to a low value?

For more, please see:

and look for "obsolescent".
