I thought POSIX went farther and reserved everything. Interestingly, however, it looks like the just released current version of POSIX has backed away from that and instead only reserves certain prefixes depending on the header files included and reserves posix_*, POSIX_*, and _POSIX_* everywhere. > Besides, what's the probability it'll be a problem if we prefix all > struct names with 'parrot_'?
