Frankly, I think we should first discuss whether we want to implement
the *_s crap first or not. IMO it's all a waste of disk space and time
and I have no idea what the Working Group was thinking when they even
considered it. I mean who else can see something wrong with a proposal
that includes gets_s and snprintf_s?
