I want to propose third variant...

As for me, no different what write:
- - mc_<malloc|free|new_array|...>
- - or g_<malloc|free|new_array|...>
- - or simply <malloc|free|own_func_for_work_with_array>

I want to write a standard, without chaos, without #ifdef...#endif in
any source file... in one coding style...

What I mean: need to create some wrapper... like my first step to this
in http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/125

For now, wrapper may have #define'd via pseudo-functions... but in
future (if someone from 'contra' want) will realize own library (call it
as you want: mcglib, mccore, mclib.so,...), and will add in
./configure.ac option '--without-glib'


WBR, Slavaz.
