I always enjoy seeing this variety of work going on. It strikes me as the
kind of work that someone new to the kernel could do to familiarise themselves. It often seems to be experienced people that get around to it, though: Robert Love did strdup in 2005 and Andrew Morton did boolean definitions in 2006.
