consistent
* add tests for each flag that takes NUM/SIZE arguments
* fix bug in tail where 'quiet' and 'verbose' flags did not override each other POSIX style
GNU seq does not support -t, but always outputs a newline at the end.
Therefore, our default for -t should be \n.
Also removes support for escape sequences (interpreting a literal "\n"
as a newline). This is not what GNU seq is doing, and unexpected.
If we notice that we can represent all arguments as BigInts, take a
different code path. Just like GNU seq this means we can print an
infinite amount of numbers in this case.
When a single directory is passed to ls in recursive mode, uutils ls
won't print the directory name

This commit fixes this minor inconsistency and adds corresponding test.
Closes#2254. We should only inherit global settings for keys when there
are absolutely no options attached to the key.
The default key (matching the whole line) is implicitly added only if no
keys are supplied.
Improved some error messages by including more context.
* expr: support arbitrary precision integers
Instead of i64s we now use BigInts for integer operations. This means
that no result or input can be out of range.
The representation of integer flags was changed from i64 to u8 to make
their intention clearer.
* expr: allow big numbers as arguments as well
Also adds some tests
* expr: use num-traits to check bigints for 0 and 1
* expr: remove obsolete refs
match ergonomics made these avoidable.
* formatting

* sort: crash when failing to open an input file
Instead of ignoring files we fail to open, crash.
The error message does not exactly match gnu, but that would require
more effort.
* use split_whitespace instead of a manual implementation
* fix expected error on windows
* sort: update expected error message
* sort: disable support for thousand separators
In order to be compatible with GNU, we have to disable thousands
separators. GNU does not enable them for the C locale, either.
Once we add support for locales we can add this feature back.
* sort: delete unused fixtures
* sort: compare -0 and 0 equal
I must have misunderstood this when implementing, but GNU considers
-0, 0, and invalid numbers to be equal.
* sort: strip blanks before applying the char index
* sort: don't crash when key start is after key end
* sort: add "no match" for months at the first non-whitespace char
We should put the "^ no match for key" indicator at the first
non-whitespace character of a field.
* sort: improve support for e notation
* sort: use maches! macros
