FWIW the rest looks fine, but committing to a specific UTF-8 
implementation is risky. Unicode is a large and complicated standard, 
and constantly evolving; I am sceptical that a one-man library like 
utf8rewind can keep up with that, and I'd wrap a mature Unicode library 
(such as ICU) rather than place my bet on a one-man show like utf8rewind.

In particular, I'd avoid utf8rewind because the author believes that 
deviating from a standard improves security.
(See his comment in 
https://bitbucket.org/knight666/utf8rewind/issues/8/length-function-should-not-use-strlen 
.)
I do not think that's a well-considered policy, and certainly does not 
make me think that his code is well-audited. Including such a thing in 
such a basic library as stdio seems unwise to me.

We also provide high performance timer and logger module, which is useful in practical engineering tasks.

You should split the library, into stuff that does fast byte shoving, 
and into stuff that does fast byte processing.
That way, things can start to improve and evolve independently.

Judging from this message, your English seems pretty good actually :-)
