your non-POSIX cut(1) extension covers 80% of the in-the-wild use of awk anyway :-) if you still talk to any of the busybox folks, we should suggest they copy that --- it would be nice for it to be a de facto standard so we can get it into POSIX sometime around the 2040s... (and have made lives better for the folks who don't care about standards and just want to "get things done" in the intervening decades!)

Hey Denys: any interest in adding cut -DF compatible with the toybox ones?

https://landley.net/toybox/help.html#cut

Ala "cut -DF 3-5" selects words like awk '{print 3""3" "3""4" "$5}' and the test case in https://github.com/landley/toybox/blob/master/tests/cut.test#L40 is doing "cut -DF 2,7,5" to show order is preserved.

(I also added -C and -O and some other stuff, but -DF is the important bit there's interested in standardizing.)

P.S. Sigh, they've added -z to coreutils. I should add -z too...
