I like some of the ideas here, but I think it goes too far. What I want is a modern replacement for libc, that has less global state, always treats arrays as a pointer and length instead of null terminated pointers (maybe with a macro to define a struct of pointer and length), has consistent error handling, standardizes on utf-8 for strings, either handles locale in a sane way, or doesn't worry about locale and leaves it up to the application/other libraries, instead if having a broken locale system, is designed with working in a multithreded environment in mind, etc. But, I think all the macro magic in libcelli is a bit much.
