    Is the -f command-line argument standardized by 1364-2001?

    The PLI routines in 23.9 and 27.15 seem to relate to it as
    something standard, or at the very least seem to say that if
    you use it, it must behave it in a certain way.

    Yet, there is no mention of this anywhere else in the LRM.

    Looking in my mail archives, I found that there were
    discussions about this, but I did not find a definite
    resolution to this. It seems to have ceased to be a subject
    for discussion at some point.

    (I don't have a PTF archive, and my VSG archive is only
    partial. My BTF archive is almost complete.)
