To be clear: I remember discussing this issue with Nathan many years ago, when
we noticed that variance among implementations, and that we considered more
strictly conforming not buffering anything (but also much worse perfoming in
many normal circumstances). But now I don't have a final word on that, should
at least collect my old notes. As I mentioned already, anyway, even if we
wanted to do the change now, it would risk breaking compatibility or leaving
the _M_c member unused or other ugly options. Definitely something to be
re-evaluated when the ABI is broken.
