I really don’t need an extended-C with productivity features... as that’s one of the defining points of C(the language is small). Fixing the warts (like different behavior between the overflow of unsigned ints & signed inta) would have been fine.

I personally want a better stdlib for C; fix the defiancies of <string.h>, removing the global locales (changing function behaviors according to LC_* was a really, really bad idea[0]), etc...

Does anyone know of an alternative stdlib for C?
