As a simple solution something like

Yes, I'd prefer that.

Jeff - is that something you can fix ?

I don't have 2.95 currently installed so can't check.

That's no problem, _but_ are you asking whether the handful of instances that you added to wchar.h should retain the __restrict qualifier? I'm only asking because a very large number of musl functions originally used the __restrict qualifier. Again, I removed them to maintain GCC 2.95 compatibility. We'd then have maybe 5 functions with __restrict even though most of them actually had them originally.

All I'm suggesting is that the library should have __restrict everywhere it's possible or not at all. It seems silly to retain it on a handful of functions. I would personally prefer to see it added, at the very least, back to everything I had originally imported.
