(One nit: I think the proposal was a touch too long; the above two
lines would have been sufficient given the prior art.)

That sounds like a subject for a different project.

I agree that it'd be nice to have conversions that match the standard
types (beyond just the base types), but that's not what we have in
libc, and I'd rather see a concerted effort to make a new set of
interfaces (probably not designed on this list) than an ad-hoc set of
additions.
