    It's food for thought, too. All this fuss made about cat, repeated to this day in some quarters, and of the three things explicitly pointed out as wrong with what Berkeley did, only a tool to do one of them, vis(1), was ever written in 43 years.

    The ironic cherry on top is that the only operating systems that come with vis out of the box are the BSDs.

    The 'cat -v considered harmful folks' (Kernighan and Pike) invented vis(1).

    > The preferred approach in this case is a separate program that deals with non-printable characters. We called ours vis […] because its job is to make things visible.

    I suspect that they would approve of sqz(1) likewise abstracted from cat -s, because they also said
