I have a question on the revised spec.
Several of the interfaces are marked "o" (optional). Are these optional
based on the inclusion of a package, like a file system?
Also, some of the interfaces are marked "m" (modified semantics possible).
Generally, it looks like these are intended to provide some basic support
but maybe not the full POSIX semantics of the corresponding calls (for
example, printf and friends). Is that right? Is there a minimum
conformance level for these?
