-Interestingly, and a spoiler here: MacOS and FreeBSD implement the common utility "correctly".
-CentOS and Ubuntu both share a "flawed" utility that changes output format based upon input redirection or pipeline(!).
-As well, the latter two also behave slightly differently on what they count as whitespace:
-\a and \b are both counted whitespace(!), even though the relevant man pages on these systems
-omit these characters from the description.
