Thanks a lot! I'll change the manual pages to reflect these historic details. I still think that since those are not mainstream, users shouldn't be confused about the fact that <memory.h> has been obsolete for so long and is now shown in documentation. But these historic details will certainly change the documentation I wrote. Thanks! Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es>
