It would not be a good idea to add this to glibc, not only because this 
implementation would be incompatible with OpenBSD's, but more generally 
because the interface is poorly designed.

It's *particularly* not a good idea to add propaganda to the manual, 
with phrases calling strlcpy "more useful".  I mean, c'mon.
