In article <458@cpsolv.UUCP> rhg@cpsolv.UUCP (Richard H. Gumpertz) writes:

   Maybe the standard header files used in an impleemtation should read
   something like the following:
	   extern char *strcpy(char * /*dest*/, const char * /*source*/);

They can be:
	extern char *strcpy(char *__dest, const char *__source);
with no problems, since __foo is in the implementation's namespace.
