I don't know if that was the intention, but I seriously doubt that it will
really work that way.  It's highly probable that C-2001 will reserve at least
one identifier which is currently in the user's namespace, e.g. `hypot'.

Btw, I'm annoyed that the entire `is*' class was reserved; that happens to be
my pet namespace for boolean variables and functions.  Guess I'll make do with
`is_'.
