Well, not that you probably care but I certainly consider that a form of premature optimization. If you are sure that POSIX will cause you issues then I could understand it, absent such evidence its just bad practice. For one, the code you write is less likely to be correct than the code in POSIX, for two if you use a nontrivial selection of modules the likely that POSIX gets loaded anyway is pretty high. So you increase code bloat, probably reduce your run times (I admit I havent benchmarked), increase your chance for error, all for a gain that may not even occur at all. Doesnt sound like good practice to me.
