| As you no doubt already know, there is already a function named gets().

+---------------

Uh, Jim, given that we're talking about retrofitting smart line editing into
existing programs, what's easier than replacing libc.a(gets.o)?  (Aside from
doing so in a shlib so you don't have to recompile every program on the
system?)
