That does look quite handy. Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately, that code is licensed under the GPL, and PLPA is
licensed under BSD -- meaning that (as I understand licensing, and I
am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice) if I included that code
in PLPA, then all of PLPA would become GPL. I would strongly prefer
to keep PLPA licensed under the BSD license.
What might be desirable is if we simply read the taskset man page and
create similar functionality but from an entirely different code base
(I took care not to look at the taskset.c code at all).
