TR 24731-2 (dynamic allocation functions) as API source

[Joseph Myers]

ISO C TR 24731-2 (Dynamic Allocation Functions) defines various 
interfaces, some of them already in glibc (which may have been the origin 
for some of them).  I think 
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1388.pdf> is the last 
public draft.

Continuing my proposals regarding APIs from external sources, I'd like to 
propose that we consider the remaining interfaces in this TR as 
appropriate for glibc as well.  That is the four functions aswprintf, 
vaswprintf, getwdelim, getwline, wide-character versions of functions for 
which the non-wide versions are already in glibc.

As with other proposals, I have no current plans to work on implementing 
these functions; this is simply trying to establish consensus on their 
acceptability in principle, should someone wish to implement them.

I don't think these functions would be hard to implement.
