yeah, i don't have any particular use for it myself, but i accept the "behave more like the thing you're replacing" argument and i don't see any problem that patch would cause, so "lgtm".
-*- mostly off topic, but personally i'd like to surface the "generally applicable but not widely known and kind of annoying if we repeat it everywhere it's relevant" stuff from --help: ``` The filename "-" means stdin/stdout, and "--" stops argument parsing. Numerical arguments accept a single letter suffix for kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, and exabytes, plus an additional "d" to indicate decimal 1000's instead of 1024. Durations can be decimal fractions and accept minute ("m"), hour ("h"), or day ("d") suffixes (so 0.1m = 6s). ``` but that shouldn't get in the way of this patch. the args parser knows whether there are numerical arguments so it could automatically append the bit about suffixes everywhere it's relevant, but the durations stuff isn't known, nor is whether any argument is a filename. and, sadly, i've been surprised by the number of people who don't know about `--` but would feel weird adding that everywhere. i did wonder about having "Try `toybox --help` for general information about arguments." automatically appended everywhere but i don't actually know whether anyone who doesn't know the stuff above would actually look, so i haven't suggested it. (until now.)
