It should be possible to configure malloc, calloc, and
realloc to allocate some extra space. This is usable
for single-threaded allocations; they do not need to
realloc strings returned by functions with
__attribute__((malloc)), to append a string or character.


LOW PRIORITY:
  debugging support  (16 p435)
    _GNU_SOURCE, system-dependant
  void* extalloca(void* p, size_t extent) :: extend alloca-allocation
    requires that nothing has been allocated to the stack since p.
    difficult to implement as a function.
    as a macro:
      ({ void* q = alloca(extent); (long int)q < (long int)p ? q : p; })
  void* dealloca(size_t amount)
    deallocate the last amount bytes allocated to the stack
  void* zalloca(size_t size)
    difficult to implement as a function.
    as a macro:
      ({ void* p = alloca(size); memset(p, 0, size); })


crt0 with cpu cycle count printing
BUFSIZ configurable by environment variable
Rate limitation of I/O-functions configured by environment variables
configuration: unlink = shred if st_nlink=1

The width of intptr_t  should be determined by sizeof(void*),
the width of size_t    should be determined by sizeof(sizeof(0)), and
the width of ptrdiff_t should be determined by sizeof(NULL - NULL);

libslibc
  library with all slibc-extension. <slibc.h>

Extensions:
  mkdir -p
  Variable argument max and min
  base64
  base64 -d
  base16
  base16 -d
  variable argument string concat
  string manipulation

POSIX specifies that *printf shall fail with EOVERFLOW is the
length of the constructed string is greater than INT_MAX.
We shall follow this, but it should optional to truncate the
value to INT_MAX. Programs should not have to limit the
resulting string to 32765 bytes!

Can we implement any of these:
  http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/errno.2

Macros that are used but not defined:
  _LINUX_

It is implementation-defined what happens in realloc if the
size is zero. This should be reflected in the documentation.

The printf-functions shall have a %-code for dumping a memory segment.
