1) optional arguments (e.g. OPEN)

3) partial list of section 2 manpages from Debian Linux box: functions
we may want to consider interfaces for.  Some of the obviously
unnecessary/dangerous functions have been deleted from this list, as
have the ones we've already got bindings for, but even so, inclusion
in this list does _not_ imply we've definitely decided something needs
adding.

4) In the spec but not implemented: 

- buffers

5) fill out TODO/TBD stuff in the spec

6) sort out exports.  All interface functions, all constants, all
  type coercion functions

7) variable-length functions > like execvp()? Do they take a list, or
vector or either? "Either" sounds good. Which is to say, a sequence.

8) In some cases, errno is used for "normal" exit, not just for
exceptional exit. For example, EINTR, EAGAIN, reading or writing big
buffers, etc... It may be more efficient to just compare two integers
than going thru an exception mechanism that will be invoked everytime.

9) proper alien definitions of structures [ possibly an sb-grovel
problem, but the way we define calls exposes the problem -- see
readdir() ]
