−/* Clone an arbitrary block of bytes P of size S, with error checking,
+
−   and include a terminating NUL byte.  P is of type 'void const *',
+
−   to make it easier to use this with other mem* functions that return
+
−   'void *', but since appending a NUL byte only makes sense on bytes,
+
−   the return type is 'char *'.
+
−
+
−   The terminating NUL makes it safe to use strlen or rawmemchr to
+
−   check for embedded NUL; it also speeds up algorithms such as escape
+
−   sequence processing on arbitrary memory, by making it always safe
+
−   to read the byte after the escape character rather than having to
+
−   check if each escape character is the last byte in the object.  */
