For what it is worth, VMS does the same sort of things (although the
details vary slightly).  I found it useful when I was hacking in
MACRO-32, but less useful in 'C'.  The best reason to do it is that
you don't polute the user's name space, which is a growing problem in
C (and various add on libraryies).
