What about the conflict with modules/streq? There are over 300 uses of STREQ in gnulib and coreutils. Are you suggesting to change all of those?
Yes. But if this is too much all at once, let's just call the inline function 'STREQ'. We can rename it to 'streq' later, if and when we have the energy.
'STRNEQ' I'd still rather avoid, though. The name is simply too confusing with strncmp. Plus, the usual way to spell 'not equals' (dating all the way back to FORTRAN) is 'ne', not 'neq'.
