as the getconf code approaches closure the inconsistencies
are easier to spot (not as in buggy but rather outliers
among otherwise consistent behavior)

these names are ok but are rejected with an _ prefix:

  POSIX_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN
  POSIX_REC_INCR_XFER_SIZE
  POSIX_REC_MAX_XFER_SIZE
  POSIX_REC_MIN_XFER_SIZE
  POSIX_REC_XFER_ALIGN

whereas most other POSIX_* names are just the opposite, e.g.:

  _POSIX_NAME_MAX

any reason for the difference?
