+- strscpy() when the destination must be NUL-terminated.
+- strscpy_pad() when the destination must be NUL-terminated and
+ zero-padded (e.g., structs crossing privilege boundaries).
+- memtostr() for NUL-terminated destinations from non-NUL-terminated
+ fixed-width sources (with the `__nonstring` attribute on the source).
+- memtostr_pad() for the same, but with zero-padding.
+- strtomem() for non-NUL-terminated fixed-width destinations, with
+ the `__nonstring` attribute on the destination.
+- strtomem_pad() for non-NUL-terminated destinations that also need
+ zero-padding.
+- memcpy_and_pad() for bounded copies from potentially unterminated
+ sources where the destination size is a runtime value.
