There a namespace pollution problem here, unfortunately.  For example,
because stdint.h includes bits/wordsize.h and the proposed change
would cause bits/wordsize.h to sometimes include limits.h, the
proposed change would cause <stdint.h> to sometimes #define MAX_CANON,
which is not at all what we want.

Also, I don't see how it works in general, since this would have
bits/wordsize.h include limits.h which includes bits/wordsize.h again,
and the whole thing is looking pretty incestuous, at least on some
platforms.
