This is a real problem today with 3.7-rc headers, but I'm happy to
shelve it and carry a local patch while we see if this ends up this
way in 3.7-final. If it does, I'll follow-up (and/or just commit,
if anyone want to pre-approve on that condition?), and if the rename
mangling happens, I'll just drop the proposal and my local patch.
Sound fair?
