On the other hand, my experience with the C Committee is that they aren't the
best place to decide a name.  They completely messed it with _Countof, which
during some period was called _Lengthof.  I personally think that if the name
is your only concern, we should rather decide it ourselves and force them to
just take it.  Of course, we should decide something that they can take, and
not do something dumb, but I think leaving them the decision of a name is a bad
idea.

If you have doubts about the feature itself, I agree on consulting other
implementors, but if you only doubt the name, I'd say go ahead with this here. 
Any opinions?
