--- Comment #7 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles at FreeBSD.org> ---
POSIX is clear that wait should report status 127 when a process ID is not a
child of the current shell environment, and I expect that there are scripts
which rely on that.

Apart from that, using the same command with the same syntax to do something
quite different seems confusing.
