Dear Maintainer,

Looking at this again, I think I bungled the fix :(.  It should probably be:

        static const ul_excl_t excl[] = {       /* rows and cols in ASCII order 
*/
                { 'c', 'd', 'p', 'z' },
                { 'c', 'n' },
                { 'c', 'd', 'p', 'x', 'z'},
                { 'i', 'p'},
                { 'n', 'p'},
                { 0 }
        };

if I'm reading the documentation correctly.  The commit message of
b85feb999c505222d4815638344c8883d5e4ab58 would probably do well in the
documentation of --posix.
