+ * standard C string processing functions to complement string.h

+ * A lot of the functions below are basically clones of non-standard
+ * extensions found in various C libraries.  The code should build and
+ * work just fine when translated as ISO C99 or above, e.g. with:
+ *   gcc -std=c99 -Wpedantic -Wall -Wextra [...]
+ *
+ * The names were chosen in a way that should avoid name clashes with
+ * existing C library functions.
+ *
+ * No claim is made that the particular implementations are the most
+ * efficient, but the code should perform reasonably well under real
+ * world conditions when optimized by a decent compiler.
