For the _t suffix it is deeply unfortunate that on the one hand C's standard library gives people this idea but then the standard says they mustn't use it.

I understand exactly why it was necessary, but to my mind that highlighted an urgent need to provide actual namespacing so that we don't need to rope off whole categories of identifiers for exclusive use by the stdlib, with the implication that every single library will need to do the same. This should have been addressed last century IMO.
