Or maybe looking at the lack of C11, at what SSIO and the jackets and 
the other limitations of the current CRTL are intended to address — and 
how could I ever forget my old friend, the spectacularly modular and 
infinitely supportable and maintainable use of logical names as an RTL 
feature control mechanism? — and just nuke it all from orbit.   Deploy 
a new and modern C RTL VSIC$CRTL, either the existing C bits rethought 
and rewritten and re-architected, or possibly based on the musl C 
library, and schedule the existing DECC$CRTL for deprecation.

Some of the biggest decisions around within a port involve the image 
activator and its associated data structures and particularly around 
its extensibility and integration with the "higher level" software, BTW 
— make it work like what went before or otherwise get that design 
wrong, and the platform greatly suffers.
