** Improvements
+ The new 'date' option --rfc-email is now the long form for -R.
+ The new option spelling is intended to avoid the need to track the
+ Internet RFC number for email dates (currently RFC 5322). The old
+ option spellings --rfc-2822 and --rfc-822 still work.
+
stty now validates arguments before interacting with the device,
ensuring there are no side effects to specifying an invalid option.
