Speaking as a code author, the headaches of that approach occur when
some well-meaning soul adds yet another function to libc - and it
happens to collide with a function in your program, a function that
used to be in user namespace.  I've got a program in which I had to
rename heapsort to heap_sort, I think it was, because of that.
