The draft does not specify "programmers" or "implementers", just what
identifiers are reserved, period.  (4.1.2)  Conforming implementations are
prohibited from usurping other identifiers via any of the standard headers,
and conforming programs cannot defined one of the reserved identifiers.  A
possible deduction that could be drawn from the rules is that for the most
part, _-names are available for the implementation.

I think the only real issue is that a keyword is not an identifier, so there
is a possible loophole that should be closed.  I'm pretty sure there wasn't
any intention of allowing conforming implementations to define additional
non-_ keywords.

At least, that's my interpretation of the proposed standard..
