8 "this wrapper will print a warning, sleep 5 seconds, then run
9 the tool from its new location."

11 Of course, it won't do that if the tools aren't invoked with
12 an active TTY. Otherwise, scripts using the tool would break,
13 (say wrt piping/redirection).

15 Furthermore, the wrapper must preserve the return status of
16 the wrapped tool.

18 But I guess all of this is just too obvious to mentioned
19 explicity in the GLEP itself;)
