One problem is that the decision can't be made in a vacuum.  The manual
page for su(1) on our SunOS 4.0 system notes that
	To remind the super-user of his responsibilities,
	the shell substitutes `#' for '$' or '%' in its usual prompt.
If shells are set up to behave differently, the su(1) documentation becomes
incorrect.
