FWIW, I'm with Tom on this one. Any meaningful code sharing is going
to need that, so we might as well bite the bullet.
And functions that return static buffers are evil incarnate. I've
spent way too much of my life dealing with the supreme idiocy that is
fmtId(). If someone ever finds a way to make that go away, I will buy
them a beverage of their choice at the next conference we're both at.
