In the terminology of the standards, there's only the C implementation and the application. The term "reserved" draws the borderline between the two territories. But with gnulib, we have three territories: the C implementation, gnulib, and the application. From the point of the C implementation, gnulib is application code. From the point of the application, gnulib is part of the C implementation. So we have to use a careful pragmatic choice in order not to conflict with one or the other. > I'll change the __gl_ prefix to a _gl_ prefix. Thanks.
