Oh, have been. What I have in mind (read: what I've started writing at
least :-) breaks the functions into three categories:
- supplementals which provide functionality on systems for which that
function is missing
- replacements for functions which may be there anyway (right now only
alloca falls into that category I think)
- extensions providing new functionality (xmalloc, dyn-string, obstacks,
choose-temp, etc)
Maybe the second category-of-one should be part of one of the others.
