Ugh.  There is a lot in your update.  Some of it I like, some of
it conflicts with other changes I'm already working on, some of it
I do not like, and some of it I have not figured out what I think
about it yet.  (I only made a quick look through your PR)

Yeah, I wanted to do more with dynamic sizing, but I have not
spent any time on it yet.  I have been looking at -k, but I
wasn't sure how much it would increase the size of `ps'.

I am not sure when I will have time to look at all that you have
done, but I will look through your changes before doing any more
major commits to `ps'.
