</div>... and despite IMHO good reason for not including.<br>
But talk is cheap so prepare and propose a working prototype as patch<br>
and we will see the reaction from others.<br>

I'm not strong against it but I do not see any significant advantage but<br>
at least one open question and the burden to all which do not need/use<br>
it[0].<br>
<br>
ad "POSIX compliance": Well, there are lots of system calls (in the<br>
Linux kernel) which are not in POSIX (or SuSv3 or ...) - plain simply<br>
because they are newer than these "standards" or out of the scope of<br>
them.<br>
And (on Linux with and/or without GNU-libc) some system-calls (or<br>
whatever POSIX calls them) are "only" libc functions which are<br>
transformed into other, real existing system-calls.<br>

to make everything small and avoid bloat;-)<br>
