C++ compatible with C ?

Oh, so the range of identifiers is double-booked.

It's not double booked. There are two spaces for identifiers:
the program space, and the implementation space. All the standard
identifiers are in the space reserved for the implementation.

What's the point of reserving identifiers if it's done in a way that
such conflicts are bound to arise?

What conflict?

I.e. the standard is invading the implementation's space.

The one that you snipped from my last post.
