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.) Sure, I can add them. Did you guys talk to coreutils whether they want to add such opts?

It honestly didn't occur to me. Elliott?
