Is it also necessary to wrap safe-read.c with extern "C", for use when
using g++ as a type-safe variant of a C compiler, to match the header?  Or
do you intend that safe-read.c always be compiled by gcc, even when trying
to compile the rest of a C-based project with g++?

And should you be symmetric with safe-write.h?
