One of the persons you will need to discuss this with is Andrew MacLeod, but
he's on vacation at the moment.
My primary concern is stability of the API. You should avoid changing the API
of any exported functions. If you do, then you'll hose glibc in ways I don't
care to think about (we've already been down this road before, we're not going
to let folks make that mistake again).
