Yes, it does.  The namespace reserved for the implementation is _[_A-Z].
 The namespace _[a-z] is still available for the user.  Which means the
user can declare their own _printf_float, and WE (as the implementation)
MUST NOT INTERFERE with it.  Since WE are the implementation, we should
use the namespace reserved for us, namely __printf_float.
