So there are good reasons for both designs, both with pros and cons,
but none invalid or superior to the other.

I agree. That is why I still don't understand why CBFalconer responded
to an earlier post as "ridiculous".

For a considerable number of months, Chuck's responses have been degrading
in quality. Recently, for example, he suggested that strspn is a
non-standard function - which, as any self-respecting C programmer ought
to know, really /is/ ridiculous.

He still gets stuff right occasionally, and I even think it's still
possible to hold a reasonable discussion with him, but it's getting more
difficult all the time.
