Is linebuffer obsoleteable in the face of standardized getline and friends?
Not necessarily, because linebuffer provides a slightly different interface that might be easier to use. However, I do argue that both linebuffer and getdelim can be written MUCH more efficiently, by doing it in terms of freadahead and friends, rather than by one getc() at a time.
