@thephd oh wow, just lowercase keyword? That's gonna be juicy. I didn't vote for that, but I'll take it.

@thephd also: at the very top, did you really mean to have two closing parentheses but only one opening one in SIZE_KEYWORD(int**)0) ?

@thephd A small difference in preference can be expected to be statistically meaningless though.

@uecker Well, if anyone wants to run Real Statistical Analysis on the data, the CSV is there!

@thephd Most of the pain of the _Keyword+header option comes from writing headers for libraries. You need to treat the keyword as reserved from day one in case a user includes the header, and are stuck using the underscore version of the keyword if you don't want to pollute the namespace for callers.

From that perspective, I can see the desire to have the nice to use keyword now.

@jamesh The library bit bites me so much, but at this point I just stopped caring and just include the headers anyways. They're effectively keywords due to text-based inclusion with headers, and I'm not gonna think too hard about it.

@jamesh it's related to a problem that has been called out a couple of times before when adding APIs

1. Standard reserves namespace

2. Community implements functionality outside the reserved namespace

3. Standard adopts functionality

4. red_blue_button.png do we trample all over their namespace, or introduce a competing different spelling nobody is going to use??

it's a namespace-reservation-treadmill
