Dear Maintainer,

Observe:
$ echo adenosine triphosphate | ptx
                                       adenosine triphosphate
                           adenosine   triphosphate
$ echo adenosine triphosphate | ptx -i <(echo 'adenosine triphosphate')
                                       adenosine triphosphate
                           adenosine   triphosphate

Compare:
$ echo adenosine triphosphate | ./4.4ptx -i /dev/null /dev/stdin /dev/tty
.xx "" "" "adenosine triphosphate" ""
.xx "" "adenosine" "triphosphate" ""
$ echo adenosine triphosphate | ./4.4ptx -i <(echo 'adenosine triphosphate') 
/dev/stdin /dev/tty

Clearly 4.4BSD ptx
(which is functionally identical to v7 ptx and, thus, every other ptx)
tokenises its -i/-o file
(as hinted with "Use as keywords only the words given in the only file.").

Conversely, coreutils ptx seems to have analysed
the input as "ignore 'adenosine triphosphate' as a token".
Which is obviously wrong.

Best,
