I installed mainline, and quickly skimmed the headers.  It seems most of the
symbols are already namespace clean, using bt_ or babeltrace_ as prefix,
but I did spot some problems:

 context.h:

 struct bt_context;
 struct stream_pos;
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 struct bt_ctf_event;


 ctf/events.h:

 struct definition;
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 struct declaration;
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 struct bt_ctf_event;
 struct bt_ctf_event_decl;
 struct bt_ctf_field_decl;

It'd be very good if those (and any others I might have missed) were bt_ prefixed too.

Thanks,
