ANSI C still has the requirement that

	#undef	strcmp

(after including <string.h>) give the user the version from the library,
doesn't it?  (A footnone in one of the sections; I don't have my copy with
me, so I can't give explicit details.)  In any event, that footnote seemed
to indicate pretty well how the committee thought intrinsics should be
handled...
