FAOD, I haven't voiced an opinion for or against this change.  If 
anything, it may be best to have the compiler warn users (maybe through 
a new -Wanalyzer option or if a more comprehensive, runtime option is 
desired, add a tunable that turns this on) whenever a realloc(p, 0) is 
encountered and suggest that they unambiguously free+malloc or free, 
depending on what they actually intend.
