Looks good to me.  Please apply.

While we're at the end of the restrict marathon for the POSIX API, I'm
wondering if we shouldn't apply the same change to the reentrant API.

Otherwise the advantage of the restrict keyword, probably smaller and
probably faster code, is gone as soon as the the POSIX API calls the
underlying reentrant functions, and it's not available at all for
external callers of the reentrant API, isn't it?
