Truth be told, I wouldn't mind crowdfunding an alternate stdlib for C for that reason. Everyone has a wishlist of patterns discovered after K&R bestowed upon us System V, that mesh perfectly well with C's philosophy and very minimal environments, and make modern programming much easier when you're dealing with lots of dependencies. (e.g. bounded strings/small strings, arena allocation, error chaining/coalescing, etc..).
