I was thinking attached to the specific commands, of which there are
currently something like 3 that would care.

I could put a "PEDANTIC" config option in the general menu, but the
problem is allyesconfig/allnoconfig. Adding an option that _disables_
functionality is backwards, and makes allyesconfig funky. But having an
option required for some functionality be separated way away from that
functionality is also funky.

Then again, TOYBOX_FLOAT is already doing that...

(There's also the fact it only really applies to posix. I don't care
much about following LSB closely since it's such a terrible standard,
and the android and other stuff doesn't really have a standard.)

Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation.  Pick one.
