I expected this question :-)

Yes, there are some workarounds we have to make to get it compiling
(like #define new NEW prior to including the headers), but it works
out. I know this is something you shouldn't do, and I debated whether
to mention C++ at all. 


Anyway, I think the change itself makes sense for plain C as well. The
comment just described the context where it showed up for us.
