Right.  The incompatibility I was referring to was the
`warn("...", uplevel: 1)` in `su' method;

but it is only warning, and maybe printing "{:uplevel => 1}" for
non-*nix platforms w/o `su' support is fine...

Sure.  I'll leave the uplevel: keyword when people attempt `su';
but I guess it's a rarely-used method and nobody will care for the
noise on non-*nix...
