The c_* modules ARE used, particularly in gettext, in situations where locales do work and strcasestr honors locales at the expense of extra processor utilization. The point of Bruno's modules is that sometimes you _want_ LC_ALL=C semantics, but without having to change the locale and restore it afterwards. However, if we have a platform missing strcasestr, then using c_strcasestr as the substitute implementation is probably okay, because that platform would probably be broken in other areas, such as locale support, such that a locale-aware replacement strcasestr would not be worth the effort. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
