PS: BTW, you also eliminated the "exit" at the end of the BEGIN
action.  This is not specified by POSIX and happens to work on all
major three - nawk, mawk, gawk, though only gawk seems to document
this and only in the info file, not its man page (though its man page
has exampes that rely on this behaviour).

E.g. solaris /usr/bin/awk will still wait for input to consume and
discard it.
