will the kernel types get namespaced ? or will it rely on the C library to provide the proper structures (according to relevant standards) ? the problem we have currently with the network headers is they define the same structure name. we don't want to have that be the starting point for a new lib, and it seems like it'd be real easy for that to become more of a problem. another example is handling of bits that often share the enum/define names such as stat or fcntl or mmap.
