Re: [RFC] Canonical Standards Names

Would a good first step be syncing creature.texi to features.h?  The
manual doesn't document 201112L or 200809L for _POSIX_C_SOURCE, 600 or
700 for _XOPEN_SOURCE, or _ATFILE_SOURCE, _FORTIFY_SOURCE, or
_ISOC11_SOURCE.  Should features.h contain a comment for developers to
update creature.texi if any feature test macros change?

"Standards" (currently used in @standards) that don't appear to have a
feature test macro include: IPv6, Linux, and Sun (aside from the special
Obsolete).

Then, a set of standards could be derived from all the possible feature
test macros.  Would we then document with each macro (and any specific
values) in creature.texi the corresponding name used in @standards?
