I dunno.  If there are malloc-like functions in other languages that
do no have any way of saying `restrict', but do support attributes,
then it would be useful.

    Kaveh> Does gcc support c9x restrict today?  (Even if it does,

We support __restrict__ in all modes.

    Kaveh> I went ahead and wrote something which seems to work.
    Kaveh> Should I bother submitting it?

I dunno.
