The release is unusable. The new "API" - if it can be called like that - added wrappers to all syscalls via #define, which breaks down on OpenBSD or other platforms which already use #defines for security wrappers. It's also undebuggable by adding yet another layer of hidden complexity. I wouldn't mind if if the code would call _ast_open() and friends directly but hiding it via #define open _ast_open collides with too many other things, including system libraries and the ability of normal minds to grok it. So this won't fly.
