These have always been traditionally defined in <stdio.h>, yet I see that we don't do it there. Are these now in violation of POSIX namespace or something? Should I be including something else to get them?

No, they are in violation of ANSI namespace, and an idiotic idea in the first place.

Think: what happens if someone decides to define

enum bool { TRUE, FALSE };

? (A somewhat less idiotic idea, but still bogus.)

And that seems a little silly (so is exporting the entire NFS tree into /usr/include, while we're talking about silly, but that's another diatribe entirely).

Hello, Jordan? Wake up!
