It seems your email "fell between the cracks" and not replied to in many 
years. Sorry about that.

You suggested have been implemented some time ago, here:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=81e589021d9c47e4fbc4284e82881a9703246476

As such, I'm marking this as "fixed" and closing.
