I know, and I also know the convenor has no more voting power than any
other member of the committee.
If this API was implemented in glibc and musl, it would already be
useful to some C++ implementations, regardless of being non-standard.
Maybe POSIX could standardize it first. Maybe this API proved useful,
then a majority of the committee might accept it.
Have a lovely night!
