Hmmmm, that's the best name, meaningfully, I think.  But I've been
trying to avoid it.  I don't like using names of standard functions in
identifiers; it might confuse.  As an alternative, I thought of 't'.
What do you think?

as you can see, i've taken the "the leading `__` means we get to
trample whatever we like" approach :-)

(we build bionic with hidden visibility and an explicit list of
symbols for the linker to export, so we'd have to be trying quite hard
to trip over ourselves.)

Yeah, I was worried about the manual page  :)

yeah, i think "t + extra text" makes sense there. i just try to be as
brief as possible in the doc comments on the assumption that most
readers will be seeing them in IDE pop-ups, and anyone who wants lots
of text will click through to the man page anyway. and at that point
they're your problem :-)
