Although we don't really support old versions of POSIX, and in any
case the namespace for these symbols is reserved, I think it would be
helpful to those browsing the header file if the new symbols were
appropriately marked to indicate that they were added in 1003.1-2001
(or whichever edition of POSIX did add them).  See, for example, how
<time.h> hides certain symbols unless the application asked for
1003.1b-1993 namespace.
