Safe to use *_t typedefs?

[MH Cox]

I need some advice, preferrably from some one on the ANSI committee
(are you listenin' Gwyn?).  The proposed ANSI standard C has produced
a lot of new data types:  size_t, time_t, etc.  I was starting to
adopt their "_t" convention for my own data types, when
I suddenly realized (excuse me, if this is obvious to everyone
else :-) I might be headed for a type clash with a future
ANSI C typedef.  Did the ANSI C committe intend to reserve all
typedefs of the form *_t for their own use?  Should I
avoid typedefs of this form in my applications?
