(although the calloc() case is slightly different from mallocz()),

Hmm. I do think xmallocz is a bit more explicit instruction of "please
NUL-terminate this for me" than xcalloc is. So I don't think it's
inconsistent to say this one is OK, but the trailing-NULL one that you
linked is not.

Yeah, I too thought "slightly different" was an understatement of
the week ;-).
