This item is tagged for TC2-2008

For both Page 750 line 25291 (encrypt) and Page 1882 line 60535
(setkey), change the Future Directions wording from:
    None.
to:
    A future version of the standard may mark this interface as
    obsolete or remove it altogether.

On Page 710 line 24043 (crypt), add a paragraph to Application Usage:

    Several implementations offer extensions via characters outside
    of the set specified for the salt argument for specifying
    alternative algorithms; while not portable, these extensions
    may offer better security. The use of crypt() for anything other
    than password hashing is not recommended.
