>Description:
Wikipedia indicates awk is part of POSIX. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK)
Our man page for vi(1) indicates that vi(1) is part of POSIX:
======
STANDARDS
Nex/nvi is close to IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX''). That document differs
from historical ex/vi practice in several places; there are changes to
be made on both sides.
======
Shouldn't awk(1) have an appropriate clause to indicate
it's (non-)adherence to POSIX?
>How-To-Repeat:
$ man awk
>Fix:
Sounds like a good idea
