Thanks for committing it.

You know, having seen fgetln's allocation strategy and its usage of the
stdio internals, I couldn't help but wonder if it's something that could
be eventually removed entirely. It's used in a bunch of places in-tree
for sure, but not too many to convert, I think; and I've already done a
few...

It's not exactly a serious suggestion at this point; I realize there
probably is third-party software too that uses this function (Linuxes
provide compat for it in libbsd; there must be a reason for that). I'm
speaking as someone who's been removing a bunch of crap from that other
OS I mentioned, so that's my reason for this line of thinking slash
pipe-dreaming ;)
