POSIX (XCU ยง2.7 "Redirection") sayeth:
Open files are represented by decimal numbers starting
with zero. The largest possible value is
implementation-defined; however, all implementations
shall support at least 0 to 9, inclusive, for use by the
application.
If you (or anyone) can implement this without making dash larger, I
imagine Herbert would be very glad (and would apply your patch).
Thanks, and hope that helps,
Jonathan
