+ * MODULES.html.sh (Core language properties): New module flexmember.
+ * modules/flexmember, m4/flexmember.m4: New files.
+
* lib/xalloc.h (xnmalloc, xnrealloc, x2nrealloc): Now static
inline functions that are identical with the old xnmalloc_inline,
xnrealloc_inline, x2nrealloc_inline of lib/xmalloc.c. This is so
