Okay, I *really* may have missed something....
Do you mean this:
/* Allow us to refer to _Perl_foo() as just foo() inside */
#define _Perl_foo foo
or this:
/* We're foo(), other folks can call us _Perl_foo() */
#define foo _Perl_foo
The second is what I read from your list, although the first seems like more
what you're talking about.
