Why is that of relevance when considering the bigger picture of glibc
needing to provide well-designed and clear interfaces?  I assume that
the user base you have now is very small compared to the user base we'll
get if we put this in upstream glibc, right?  Or how many users do you
have currently?  Also, glibc doesn't have any elision docs right now, so
which docs are you referring to?
