I've started reading Jacob Navia's CCL document.
 
This seems to provide all that I'd need (and more besides).
 
However, it appears that this was intended to be added to C's standard
library — 12 years ago! The last update was 4 years ago. So it doesn't
look to be maintained and presumably was rejected as an addition to the
standard library?

I'm not sure, but from past experience with Jacob I suspect that he
never went through the process of making a formal proposal for a change
to the standard. Such proposals can only be made by members of the
committee. Therefore, he would have to either become a member of the
committee, or convince a member of the committee that it would be a good
idea to propose the change for him. As far as I know, he's never
attempted to do either of those things. Therefore, it's probably not
correct to describe his proposal as having been rejected.
