This particular issue is about *size*, that seemed to be needless, from
the background i've showed. A key feature for klibc.

Running stat() on and on is silly in general sense. Of course it runs
quickly, who counts preparation? It's like interactive dash: no history,
re-typing commands from scratch, but they run pretty fast!

(Userspace, i.e. in shell, line and buffer editor based on TERM=linux
features is in progress. To have on-demand feature, not useless most of
the time binary bloat. But who cares? 500K busybox and voila!)

Arh, whatever.
