I wrote those patterns based on C11 section 7.30 "Future library directions". 
7.30.3 says "Macros that begin with E and a digit or E and an uppercase letter
may be added to the declarations in the <errno.h> header.".  7.30.2 says
"Function names that begin with either is or to, and a lowercase letter may be
added to the declarations in the <ctype.h> header."; 7.30.12 also reserves
those two for <wctype.h>.  7.30.11 says "Function names that begin with str,
mem, or wcs and a lowercase letter may be added to the declarations in the
<string.h> header."  AFAICT, those reservations match the regexes I gave.
