Of course, that means programmers *do* see a mumble_func form.
As a user of this stuff, I want to see first and foremost
something that works. Secondly, consistency followed by even
more consistency. It is very nice and smooth to simply
map a broken function name into a fixed up replacement. However,
if you wind up just pulling on a loose thread, I don't think you
have a solution. I would rather see ``# define posix_func''
for all ``func''-s posix. Simple. Consistent. One-time cost.
Discovered breakages have obvious fixes.
