these seems like private implementation details, I don't think we want or need any of these changes in the public libc headers

optcur is an implementation detail, while optarg, opterr, optind, optopt are used as specified. if you have a suggestion to hide this implementation detail, feel free to tell me :)
parameter names are useful for auto-completion and the like.

parameter names seem fine, why are we exposing the z_getopt_r_context and z_getopt_r symbols? Are these part of libc? If not, why are they in the libc headers? Why are we exporting them?

to make a reentrant version available to the user.

Is z_getopt_r a part of libc?

yes, it should be exposed to the user as a normal part of libc. perhaps omitting the z_ prefix identifying it as a ziglibc extension would be good, but it's not my choice to make

What I'm asking is, which standard libc is this function apart of? The cstd, glibc, musl, msvc. The purpose of ziglibc is to provide an alternative implementation for existing libc libraries.

it's not a part of any other libc, just a reentrant version of the posix function. if providing reentrant versions of functions is out of scope, it shouldn't be exposed.

I've also added some inline tests, not quite sure how to run those eventually.
