Could you please clarify?  I don't understand what you mean.  If you
think strtoi(3) should be replaced by a type-generic function, you
should clarify the semantics, at least to some degree (which I think
would be better with some code, but if you do with words it would be
better than nothing).

A type-generic macro cannot be implemented in C89 at all.  C11 is the
minimum for anything type-generic (except for compiler magic).  You can
probably use the same compiler magic to backport my a2i() macro to
dialects older than C11.
