Note that Posix (at least the draft I have) does not explicitly say that
the names with the suffix _t are reserved. It just says that all Posix
headers use such names, which therefore might conflict with the
application. By contrast, the above Single unix Spec _does_ in fact say
such names are reserved.

I agree.
