But Gleb, making such changes unilaterally is a bit of a leap. The project has mostly accepted Bruce's wisdom about trying to minimize and reduce namespace pollution. Now, this isn't a standard header so it's quite a bit less of a concern, but it's not no concern. If you think that we should reverse our trend on including namespace-polluting headers in system headers, we should discuss that on arch@, and it shouldn't be something that's done without any discussion or consideration. Should we expect further changes of this nature (and of the proposed nature removing __size_t and __ssize_t use) if you make changes to other headers as part of your work? Are you going to add to every header currently using in a single go, or will you be doing that a little at a time when making functional changes? Thanks, Juli.
