What with memcpy and memmove... is ther an officially sanctioned function
which performs the copy in a specified direction?  Like, say, memmoveup
and memmovedown.  This would be useful for initializing a dynamic chunk
of memory with a repeating value.

I don't have any need for it now.  I'm just curious as to whether its
existence was ever discussed.
