Agreed, and thanks for preparing the patches.

Yes, good. It's what POSIX uses too.
I tweaked some wordings very slightly (adding or removing "the"
in a couple of places), and gave the patches the title:
Consistency fix: use "stream" as name for "FILE *" argument
I also made related changes in fmemopen(3), fopencookie(3), and
getline(3).
Thanks,
Michael
