TR24731-2 does include functions from POSIX, but the only string handling ones in n1337 are strdup and strndup, not strl* - and I might be wrong but I don't know of any plans to add strl* to POSIX. Besides, anything in C1x will not make it into a C++ standard for many years, we're still trying to get C++0x finished and new features won't be added now. Maybe this request should be for the C front end? Otherwise you're requesting warnings in C++ code about functions for which there are no portable, standardised alternative available.
