A good subset of the functionality (which I agree is a bit troublesome
in that generic formulation) would be to allow storage qualifiers
alone (not full types) to leak through functions. Something like:
#pragma storage_return strchr(1)
char *strchr(const char *, int);
That would mean "the strchr function takes a pointer to character
argument, it does not modify the storage pointed to, and the value it
returns has the same storage qualifiers as the first argument."
Maybe ... someday ...
