Hi
I am unsure how methods noted by POSIX as obsolete should
be guarded.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xsh_chap01.html
For example, asctime() and asctime_r() were marked as obsolescent
in Issue 7.
Similarly, that page lists some methods that should be removed.
I am assuming it is OK to still support them but what should the
guards be?
Just curious as we tighten things up.
