Seems, it is not needed.
Likely, this is from time, when a short branches
was used between ctype modules.  This was corrected
a few years ago.

I do not know.  However, it can be demanded only for
experienced users.  Perhaps, it is possible to be limited
to a FAQ note?

Also I can think how to change Avr-libc rules for automatic
renaming at compile time.  I have a small positive
experience in changing of rules with patch #6718 (optimize
EEPROM).

Dmitry.

P.S. For commiting of patch #6718 there are no only
test with real Xmega.  Eric, have you any possibility
to do this?
