This is true, especially on macOS.  Taking this a step further, a
cross-platform pbulk solution would be extremely valuable to me.  And
even on systems where it works such as NetBSD and Linux, I would wish
for something that would make installing it and setting it up have the
same interface across platforms.  For example, something like one of
these:

1. https://netbsd.org/~bacon/Pbulk/index.html
2. https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgbuild

But #1 doesn't support macOS, and #2 favors SmartOS over other
platforms, and its macOS support does not do builds in a sandbox.

And I only mentioned NetBSD, Linux, and macOS, but I think it would be
great for as many platforms as reasonably possible to be supported.
