I would think it'd be better if you made al_rest(unsigned int), and a 
wrapper define that maps rest to al_rest, making sure negative numbers 
get passed as 0 (just in case). AFAIK, the syntax of rest doesn't need 
to change, and the behavior is well-defined (as in, does what people 
need it to), for the most part. So, if you want to start adding prefixed 
functions for a new API, that'd be the best place to start, IMO.

With the exception of yield_timeslice and the # filename issue, I can't 
think of anything more that needs to be done for 4.1.15. Though it is 
late and I haven't slept yet, so I might not be remembering everything..
