	+ ps(1)'s options '-a' and '-A', when combined with any other one
	+ affecting the selection of processes except for '-X' and '-x', would
	+ have no effect, in contradiction with the rule that one process is
	+ listed as soon as any of the specified options selects it (inclusive
	+ OR), which is both mandated by POSIX and arguably a natural expectation.
	+ This bug has been fixed.

	+ As a practical consequence, specifying '-a'/'-A' now causes all
	+ processes to be listed regardless of other selection options (except for
	+ '-X' and '-x', which still apply). In particular, to list only
	+ processes from specific jails, one must not use '-a' with '-J'. Option
	+ '-J', contrary to its apparent initial intent, never worked as a filter
	+ in practice (except by accident with '-a' due to the bug), but instead
	+ as any other selection options (e.g., '-U', '-p', '-G', etc.) subject to
	+ the "inclusive OR" rule.
