1 1) optional arguments (e.g. OPEN)
3 3) partial list of section 2 manpages from Debian Linux box: functions
4 we may want to consider interfaces for. Some of the obviously
5 unnecessary/dangerous functions have been deleted from this list, as
6 have the ones we've already got bindings for, but even so, inclusion
7 in this list does _not_ imply we've definitely decided something needs

35 4) In the spec but not implemented:
39 5) fill out TODO/TBD stuff in the spec
41 6) sort out exports. All interface functions, all constants, all
42 type coercion functions
44 7) variable-length functions > like execvp()? Do they take a list, or
45 vector or either? "Either" sounds good. Which is to say, a sequence.
47 8) In some cases, errno is used for "normal" exit, not just for
48 exceptional exit. For example, EINTR, EAGAIN, reading or writing big
49 buffers, etc... It may be more efficient to just compare two integers
50 than going thru an exception mechanism that will be invoked everytime.
52 9) proper alien definitions of structures [ possibly an sb-grovel
53 problem, but the way we define calls exposes the problem -- see
