They are still wrappers (and the new type-generic wrappers used for 
float128 are still wrappers, just ones that set errno directly without 
supporting the obsolescent _LIB_VERSION / matherr / __kernel_standard, 
which we don't want supported in any new interfaces).  The prefix seems 
just as meaningful; you need to distinguish the wrappers and the main 
(e_*) implementation.
