I have to agree with ryuukk_ on this one; it's one thing to 
maintain binary compatibility with C, and another to import and 
use C symbols all over the place in the standard library. I think 
that interfaces with C (or any other language) should be reduced 
to the minimum required to make something work, and nothing more. 
So, keep the usage of malloc/realloc/free to allocators and 
whatnot, and use fread/fwrite only in stdio.
