FreeBSD will convert "0x12" from hex and print it as 18. Other awks will
convert it to 0. This extension has been removed upstream, and will be
removed in FreeBSD 14.0.
FreeBSD used to set the locale on startup, and make the ranges use that
locale. This lead to weird results like "[A-Z]" matching lower case
characters in some locales. This bug has been fixed.

Upstream is poised to deprecate the -Ft wart in one true awk. None of
the other awks do this, and the gawk maintainer says that he's had no
requests for it in gawk in 30 years maintaining it. github can find a
few instances of it in the wild. As such, warn that it's deprecated and
will go away in the future.

The current description of the FS is true, but only part of the
truth. Add information about single characters and note that FS="" is
undefined by the standard, though the two other awk implenetations (mawk
and gawk) also have this interpretation.

gawk allows multiple arguemnts to bit-wiste and, or and xor
functions. Implement an arbitrary number of arguments for these
functions. Also, use NULL in preference to 0 to match rest of file.
