Any of the BSDs? For example, FreeBSD is finally starting to provide all of
the POSIX *at interfaces, even faster than Solaris (even though it was Solaris
that even started the idea of creating *at interfaces in the first place,
before glibc extended their power and POSIX standardized them).

True. But this argument only applies to the doc/glibc-functions directory.
The doc/posix-functions directory IS all about the POSIX interfaces, and the
interfaces that sparked this thread were the *_l functions, which happen to be
POSIX functions (just not widely implemented yet).
