I think he meant,
"wouldn't it be nice if I could do"
signal_handler () {
...
pcopy = not_static_copy ("string",
global_buffer_i_happen_to_keep_always_lying_around_especially_\
for_use_in_my_signal_handlers);
...
}
Or maybe he meant,
"wouldn't it be nice if I could do"
printf ("%s%s", unstatic ("ab", buf1), unstatic ("bb", buf2));
Of course, if I happen to pass NULL as the buffer, then it will
use its own static buffer.
