This matches NetBSD, and also seems to be what linux does. The sentence
which is added to the man page is taken straight from NetBSD.

Any [standard output] field need not be meaningful in all
implementations. In such a case a hyphen ('-') should be
output in place of the field value
So have the `-O label' option print out the string " -" if the
process has no label.

These new options are not documented yet. More options will be coming,
and I will update the man page after I get farther along.

sort-by-CPU or sort-by-memory will only calculate values once-per-process,
instead of twice-per-comparison. Also take advantage of this to simplify
the pscomp() routine.

are now errors (instead of being treated like `ps -p 0 -p 12').

Note that `ps t' is still changed to `ps -T', since that is one of
the main reasons for this kludge processing...

more special situations. This is the code which process `ps blah',
when "blah" does not include a leading '-'.
This change also removes a long-undocumented BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY
compile-time option, where:
ps -options arg1 arg2
(with no '-' on "arg1" and "arg2") was treated as:
ps -options -N arg1 -M arg2
This also changes `ps' to check for any additional arguments after
processing all the '-'-options, and attempt to use those arguments as
a pid or pidlist. If an extra argument is not a valid pidlist, then
`ps' will print an error and exit. This seems a more generally useful
extension of the kludge-option processing than the -N/-M behavior, and
has fewer confusing side-effects.

This corrects a problem of lost-precision for `-r' (sort-by-CPU). Also,
for sort-by-CPU and sort-by-memory, any processes which have the same
value CPU or MEMORY are now sorted by TTY and then (if needed) by pid.
