Thanks to Ron for pointing this out.  The implication is that
the stdio etc. routines would have to call _read() but the UNIX
user still gets his read() routine from the library.  Thus an
implementation CAN have non-standard non-_* names in the library
after all, so long as they are essentially an orthogonal
extension to the standard-conforming part of the library.
