+/* NOTE: libio is now exclusively used only by glibc since libstdc++ has its
+ own implementation. As a result, functions that were implemented for C++
+ (like *sputn) may no longer have C++ semantics. This is of course only
+ relevant for internal callers of these functions since these functions are
+ not intended for external use otherwise.
