utarray_str_cpy: warning C4996: 'strdup': The POSIX name for this item is deprecated. Instead, use the ISO C and C++ conformant name: _strdup.

In utarray.h, utarray_sr_cpy() uses strdup. Would it be alright to change this to _strdup?
strdup is the standard name for strdup. I've never heard of _strdup.
There is definitely no _strdup (nor strdup) in ISO C++.
There is no _strdup (nor strdup) in ISO C11.
According to N2433, strdup will be the standard spelling in ISO C2x, whenever it is released.
Changing away from the POSIX spelling strdup to a spelling that does not exist on any system I've ever seen would be a bad thing IMO, not a good thing.
Apparently I misconstrued the VS 2019 warning text -- my bad! [viz. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7582394/strdup-or-strdup]
I will do what that SO suggests #define _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -- sorry for wasting your time with my misunderstanding / ignorance.
