Not entirely… hehe, pun intended🤭, true : https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/true.html
"Whereas colon is required to accept, and do nothing with, any number of arguments, true is only required to accept, and discard, a first argument of "--". Passing any other argument(s) to true may cause its behavior to differ from that described in this standard"

Ha-ha-ha, good point! TBQF I didn't expect it to appear only in the 2024 edition and I wanted to take a look at what was in version 6, but ultimately got lazy and just gave a link to what I had on hand 😅
I still think there is nothing with GNU approach: some want the simplest implementation, they don't — and it's their call, it's not against the current standard, you can't appeal to that.
Thanks for going to the standard, @m0xee
That's POSIX baby!
