... and as a developer, I wish we left out such namespace pollution more often. I write code on FreeBSD which I then publish with the intention that people will be able to use it on any POSIX-compliant system, and I've lost count of the number of times I've been hit by "this won't build on OS X or Linux because you forgot to #include <stdint.h>".
