There have been some disagreements on strlcpy/strlcat (BSD vs glibc crowd), although by now the debate has died off and these functions are pretty widely used. Also, while here, it would be lovely to have strchrnul() included.

glibc still refuses to add the functions because they are not required by a standard.
