  I don't know why we don't use _ in file names anymore, but at least it is
in line with a few other headers in lavu.

  Anyway I think concatenation of abbreviations can be quite unreadable and
the effect will be strengthened as more and more files with that naming style
are added.

  Please excuse the rant... I wanted to say this many times before.

  The naming of the macros is a bit risky. Especially considering how often we
append numbers to names to introduce a successor. av_time2str2 would be rather
confusing.

  Nit: The verb "get" in the function names is IMHO a bit confusing, as you pass
a buffer in and don't really get any resource. Maybe "make" would be better fit.
What do you think?


  I still would like to hear a few more voices? Who wants to have these in lavu?
I am still not sure myself, though it seems small and useful enough.
