That, of course, depends upon how you pronounce "z". In this part of the

So, if these function will never be available to American English
speaking folks, then I'm all fine with the names. ;-)

void *zealloc(void *old, size_t want);
Please note, that identifiers are usually remembered by sound not by
letter sequence. `zalloc' and `zealloc' are likely to be pronounced
similar and thus there is a good chance that this leads to confusion and
errors. Furthermore, `calloc' and `zalloc' are prone to be pronounced
equally or understood equally, especially by non-native speakers.
