Switching to different tools/libraries is a separate matter from
keeping the basic sorcery operation alive, IMHO. Tucking away a tree of
static tools to be used by sorcery independent of the normal casts that
would help regardless of using mawk or gawk. I'm not saying that
alternatives shouldn't be explored, just that I feel that this can
easily result in other yet unknown issues.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
