In general, I think it's good, though I can't claim to speak for "the
feeling".

There are a few problems, though, notably readv/writev, which for
historical reasons share the same struct iovec, which because of readv
cannot have a const iov_base - which means writev requires a
const-stripper to be used in properly const-poisoned code.

I've been thinking about it for a while now and haven't come up with
any solution I like.
