Actually, POSIX does not define the standard C library.  INCITS ISO IEC
9899-1999 defines the standard C library.  POSIX may include the
standard C library as a requirement for a conforming system, but it does
not define it.

Your challenge assumes that people think that Emacs is A Good Thing(tm).
>From the plethora of *other* editors, it is obvious that not everyone
feels that way.  You should note that Emacs *has* been ported to a
number of other systems, many of which have a POSIX layer but are not
natively POSIX.
