In STANDARDS, I list the current version of standards that provide a
function.  Thus, I need to update most entries to say C23.  Give me some
time.  :)

In HISTORY, I document the first version of each standard that provided
a function (thus, C99 is appropriate there).

Yep.  I should revise all the references to C11 to C23, and POSIX.1-2008
to POSIX.1-2024.  I'll need to sit down and check all functions in the
standards to see if anything changed for any of them, so it'll take some
time.  I welcome patches for that, if anyone had the time to check any
of them.  :-)


Have a lovely night!
