Yes, I'm aware there are a couple others and at least one (OSX) is probably going to be hard to get to change. I'm pretty okay with that as long as there is good consensus among the implementations that actually care about portability and consensus. OSX has so many serious conformance bugs, and is stuck so far in the past (17 years -- POSIX 2001, with problems even conforming to that), that it's like MSVCRT; they really don't have standing to push their way on this.
