Re: Word For Today: “Uglification”

The limited support for avoiding name clashes in C (user-level C,
outside of the implementation internals) is certainly something that he
(or others) /could/ complain about.  It is a well-known issue, and it's
a shame that the C standards committee have never dealt with it.  I
don't see why the language could not adopt a simple "namespace" solution
that would hugely simplify avoiding identifier clashes.  (It wouldn't
help for macros, but we have inline functions to handle many cases.)
