however, Net/2 (iirc) and therefore our 'ps' both accepts and
documents the dash form as acceptable for 'berkeley-ish' args.

in fact, ps(1) doesn't even document the non-dash form in any obvious

so, while it might have once been a good idea to differentiate that
way, it ceased to be no more recently than a few years ago.  8-)
