I haven't followed the Pointer Bounds Checker development, only looked at
some of the patches, but I think that if all builtins similar to
BUILT_IN_STRCPY would need changes like in the patch below, we're
heading down a very bad road.  Adding with_bounds code to every second
builtin in so many passes to properly handle its arguments will surely
lead to unmaintainable mess over time.
