Hmmm, my manpage only listed -k=POS . Is -k=POS1[,POS2] a recent
addition ? Doesn't really matter, that machine got blown away last night
for a full upgrade anyway, so the new(er) version of sort will be available

      -k, --key=POS1[,POS2]
             start a key at POS1, end it at POS 2 (origin 1)

New enough sort(1) that the old zero-based key specification does not
work at all.  Version previous to that, it was deprecated.  But even
then, there was  $ sort +pos1 -pos2
to start at field pos1 and end at field pos2.

Yep, my new machine has this sort with start,end keys
