Gating is only necessary when some parts of a header are governed by
different standards than other parts therein (e.g. XSI or GNU
extensions to an ANSI header).  Gating is NOT necessary when an entire
header is governed by a later standard and not included by other
standard headers, as the #include itself is essentially the gate.
