The code works fine actually with the two functions, it is a fact.

Not long ago, I read string.h and saw that there was two functions doing th=
e=20
same thing.
At this moment, I thought that it can be a good idea to replace one by anot=
her=20
so there is only one remaining function.

I think the benefit of this patch is that it makes the code a bit simpler.
I agree that this is not a huge benefit and that the code can stay in its=20
actual state.
I also marked this patch as RFC to get people's opinion about if they find =
it=20
useful or not.
