Sorry to sound pompous, but that's what I thought =)
Hence I wanted to point it out. Would be a shame if we get wildgrow
of syscalls and/or functions with the same name but with completely
different semantics or even goals (like the spl stuff in some ways).

Would there be any way of getting FreeBSD and NetBSD (and mayhaps
even OpenBSD as well) to decide on one asleep() with the same function?
(Hence I cc:'d you Matt, hope you don't mind.)
