The beep command is generally useful enough that it should be expected 
to work, legacy or no.

But in recent years the number of times computers beep at you has 
greatly declined; these days the beep is used only in the rarest of 
data-loss confirmations.

And it's nearly unheard of to beep at a user multiple times; I suspect 
this rarity is why any issues with multi-beep sequences hasn't been 
discovered before.

Users have a difficult enough life as it is, why would we want to beep 
at them multiple times?
