:(

What about other similar names? i.e. a variation of your option 2,
e.g. just `nonnull` (we also have others like that, i.e. no
underscore, e.g. `noinline`), or `___nonnull` (triple underscore, but
may be confusing), or a suffix/prefix letter, e.g. `__knonnull` (for
kernel nonnull)...

i.e. it would be nice to have a "standard" spelling for ourselves, and
also replace the existing `__attribute__((nonnull))`s we have
elsewhere in the tree.

Cheers,
Miguel
