__* in installed headers

Hi,
Does anybody see a reason why we shouldn't get rid of the __*
prototypes in the official headers? The reason is that I found more
and more cases where people think they should use these functions
since they are documented. Of course this will break now that these
functions are not exported anymore. [And compiling will be faster
since fewer symbols have to be kept.]
The solution I have in mind is to move over the __* prototypes to the
headers in include/ and make sure we search while compiling glibc
always there first.
Comments?
