Hmm.  This makes more sense than the previous patch.

However, it doesn't make sense if only the math functions are affected
If you want to do this systematically, you'd have to group them
following the Open Group Base Spec Issue 8.

That would also imply merging stuff like

   iswalnum/iswalnum_l          -- page 1280
   le16toh/le32toh/le64toh      -- page 1327
   localtime/localtime_r                -- page 1354
   mlock/munlock                        -- pages 1433, 1488
   sig2str/str2sig              -- page 2040

etc. etc.

Nevertheless, while this has a certain charm and I don't see
a disadvantage, I'd like to get Jon's input to this as well.

Well, I'd just go for one function per line, in alphabetical order, because it's unambiguous if we've done that correctly.

Otherwise, it devolves into arguments about "I think it looks nicer this way", which... well, "de gustibus non est disputandum".
