It seems this will satisfy Walter without impacting Sean..
As I understand, the idea is that Sean get little trying to fix posix
standard: the only way to check if the code works on some platform is to
compile and test it on that platform and posix standard doesn't change
that. So various platforms ended up adding new functions to posix
headers. Having straightforward translations of headers takes less
thinking and probably helps migrate from C and doesn't change posix
compliance of the headers - it remains conventional.
Sure.
The core.sys.<platform>.* modules are/will be straight translations.
Walter wants additional core.* and core.sys.* modules which map to
core.sys.<platform>.* as appropriate.
Sean wants/uses core.sys.posix.* modules, which are maintained by someone
and only contain posix definitions for all platforms.
Iain wants to be able to split a single platform easily from the rest;
taking core.* core.sys.* and core.sys.<platform>.*.
Right?
