Just saw that some of the most interesting bits of plan9 have been ported to Unix under a BSD license. Most notably, sane printf and regexp functions that work with utf8. Happy happy joy joy!

Now all that's needed is a bullet through the POSIX header mess. I don't want to need to use autoconf/automake just to know what headers I need to get the basic libc functions. I just want to write...

#include <libc.h>

...and everything should just work. One header per library. No headers including other headers. No stupid inclusion guards. Okay?
