"rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" detects and ignores the failure
in more cases when a directory is empty.
+ "seq -f % 1" would issue the erroneous diagnostic "seq: memory exhausted"
+ rather than reporting the invalid string format.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
+
** Improvements
ls --color no longer outputs unnecessary escape sequences
/* seq - print sequence of numbers to standard output.
