WG14 paper for removing restrict from nptr in strtol(3)

[Martin Uecker]

Hi Alejandro,

if in caller it is known that endptr has access mode "write_only"
then it can conclude that the content of *endptr has access mode
"none", couldn't it?

You also need to discuss backwards compatibility.  Changing
the type of those functions can break valid programs.  You would
need to make a case that this is unlikely to affect any real
world program.
