Right.  A strange ruling, I think _t is used in lots of applications.
I also don't really understand the language of the ruling in its last
part:

  End in the string indicated as a reserved suffix in the table and do
  not use the reserved prefixes posix_, POSIX_, or _POSIX_, as long as
  the reserved suffix is in that part of the name considered significant
  by the implementation.

I guess we need to start removing those suffixes, but given the amount
of existing code that uses them, I'm not sure Jan's patches should be
blocked because of that.
