Many of us have been talking about this namespace issue without doing anything about it for a long time. I'm glad someone takes some step. I just want to be sure that the issue is widened beyond stuff for threads so that folks can add to namespace.h in some confidence, just for the purpose of cleaning up the namespace. To this end, I still favor `foo' over `_foo' in library source files (reasons of ugliness and porting). Clearly there is not a simple approach that will cover all cases. sigaction is a bad example -- it doesn't need to be hidden (although it has to be specially handled with threads). kevent is not a great example. Only FreeBSD has kevent currently. However, I don't particularly want `_kevent' littered through library sources.
