Unfortunately, in 4.1BSD "cat -n" *is* already used - it does line numbering.
As does the "nl" command in USG UNIX - with more options than you can shake
a stick at, if that's your idea of a good time (apologies to Julius Marx);
anybody actually used all the logical page etc. stuff therein? As does, for
that matter, the "-n" option to the "pr" command in USG UNIX. I guess they
*do* stand for "CATchall" and "Put everything heRe"...
