Upstream rejected this proposal (I'm not sure why). I'd suggest
either
(a) stating your proposed fix and its rationale more clearly at
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10367
(or as a patch to binutils/ar.c, mailed to
binut...@sourceware.org), or
(b) coming up with some nice self-explanatory proposed "ar -h"
text here in this bug log (with the same effect; just might
take longer).
Thanks and hope that helps.
Jonathan
