Here are six functions implemented on top of xmalloc(). No C programmer should have any triouble providing the implemetations, though replace and getquote are non-trivial.

I've think we've got something quite powerful here, purely because none of these functions can ever return null for out of memory conditions. It massively simplifies string handling.

Take a look at glib,
