The POSIX code tries to match every UNIX out there. It's not that
pretty or in some cases efficient and we can do better. The windows
code is almost always far superior to the UNIX code. Making NSPR
modern isn't that hard since Haiku has a lot that BeOS lacked. Besides
I thought we were supposed to make it more native, not less.
