This isn't particularly hard to fix, so it's an ideal problem for new contributors. This may be one reason why it hasn't been fixed yet. In the big picture, it doesn't hurt to let little problems like this linger. Most people will just write a wrapper script and move on. Too bad. But someone will eventually be looking for things to get their feet wet, and issues like this are ideal for that. Or it will annoy someone so much that they take the time to fix it. The existing developers have much harder sets of problems to juggle. And yes, of course, sometimes existing developers find time to fix simple problems like this. However we have a strong culture of encouraging new contributors so having issues like this open is also a good thing for the project. So, take the plunge if you can! Thanks.
