While I don't think it's spelled out anywhere, the hope is to make it
so any strictly conforming POSIX program build against glibc also
works with musl dropped in. Programs using extensions that musl also
provides should work too. Programs using glibc features that musl does
not provide, or depending on glibc bugs, are not intended to be
supported.

Similar things are scattered here and there; see the junk in
src/ctype.
