Does C99 support the inline specifier? If so, you could just define the code
as inline functions in the header.

It wouldn't be worth creating another library just for this purpose,
obviously, but it is equally clear that this discussion belongs as part of the
broader deliberations about what additional library we want to enhance braille
support, especially translations. You could easily expand that to include
braille translation and miscellaneous utility functions useful for braille
applications, then this proposal would have a home in the library.
