See 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78691087/reallocptr-0-in-c23-now-what 
regarding the lists of UB related to realloc being out of date.  I think 
this could be fixed editorially via a merge request (to make the Annex J 
lists in C2y agree with the actual current realloc semantics in C2y) but I 
haven't got round to writing such an MR myself.
