Don't flame him too loudly, Doug. The crucial point here (implementations
not allowed to reserve other non-_ names) is an *EXTREMELY SUBTLE* result
of the wording in the current draft, so subtle that I can easily imagine
even a compiler implementor missing it entirely. This badly needs at least
a footnote (and I intend to say so in my formal comments).
