Right. A strange ruling, I think _t is used in lots of applications.
I also don't really understand the language of the ruling in its last
part:
End in the string indicated as a reserved suffix in the table and do
not use the reserved prefixes posix_, POSIX_, or _POSIX_, as long as
the reserved suffix is in that part of the name considered significant
by the implementation.
I guess we need to start removing those suffixes, but given the amount
of existing code that uses them, I'm not sure Jan's patches should be
blocked because of that.
