So?  That's what it's there for.  Why reinvent the wheel.  You realize
that shell scripts are all composed of commands, right?  Anything
available in the shell becomes just another function I get to use.
You know, like the various python libraries...

No, it's not.  LOL.

That is a real program.

fmt has a -u option that is supposed to handle that, but it does
not seem to work.  You may have uncovered a bug.

       -u, --uniform-spacing
              one space between words, two after sentences

Awesome.
