 Yeah, forgot I have pkg in path - nawk was from pkgsrc. The 'awk' is
 the one coming with system, and identifies itself as 20070501.
 
 Got the Apple sources and got repetition pattern locally to work with
 nawk 20121220. There is indeed specific added support for this,
 conditional upon "Unix2003_compat". I'll think how to integrate it to
 make this acceptable for upstream.
