--- Comment #8 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
Based on the request which I just marked as a duplicate of this one, I think
this is a new argument for adding a public futex function: the desire to have
it be a cancellation point, which cannot be achieved by calling it directly
with syscall(). See my comment 20 on issue #12683 for details.
