... unless an application is brain-damaged by its using a wildcard
select, which is a well-known no-no even for home-made scripts, as it
has already been pointed out here. My point here being that
applications' robustness to apparent field order, like liberty,
shouldn't be taken for granted: it needs to be explicitly minded,
protected and sometimes fought for. :-)
