Hi Christian. It's either secure or it's not. If it's not, there is no point in 
introducing it at all as I don't think it's a good idea to have a 
kind-of-secure-but-i-dont-know functions in stdlib.

If you restrict input to bytes it looks okish, but I looked at all the code 
that's invoked on the C side and it's quite a lot of code. Does you or anyone 
else actually go and review all the C code that's called via various operations 
to check if it does or does not depend on the value of various characters? I 
can't tell myself, it's too long.
