What do you intend to use this for?  There are no users in
your patch, and I'd be fearful of overlapping cases (which
ought to be common for anything using this) which therefore
would require use of memmove() instead of memcpy().

How about we just leave out interfaces until we have a use
case?
It should be ok now, please take a look in a throwaway branch to make
sure, sorry for the disturbance.
Where should I pull from?  Please always specify this, I delete
old emails from a thread when I expect a resubmit, so I don't
even know the original URL.  THanks.
