 Pscat's exit status isn't useful when run correctly; there's no way to tell which process failed if one did.
 This issue of ergonomics isn't obviously mendable as processes' standard outputs and standard errors are meant to both be conveyed.
 If either could be ignored the individual exit statuses could simply be printed.

+Pscat's function is redundant to the sh(1) construct
+.RB { utility ; utility ;}
+- this is a feature, not a bug.
