Actually, to followup to my own post (darn those quick save-and-post
fingers), there're a few other mem*/str* functions that might also
be useful to have in the standard:

memrchr - counterpart to memchr
strend - convenience function for strchr(s, '\0')
strmove - similar to memmove
strnlen - like strlen, but give a maximum

strdup is _quite_ common, and should be available in some way.  (After
that, strndup is nice.)

Some standard comparison functions for qsort and bsearch would be nice.
After that, implementing these so that they aren't slower than versions
written for some specific type is trivial.  (At least comparisons for
all the basic integer and floating point types and strings are needed.)

(Publib has these, and a few dozen others.  Blatant advertising, what?)
