6.10.7.2:
None of these macro names, nor the identifier defined, shall be the
subject of a #define or a #undef preprocessing directive. Any other
predefined macro names shall begin with a leading underscore followed by
an uppercase letter or a second underscore.
So, it's not explicitly reserved, but your code can suddenly start doing
weird things if you prefix an identifier with an underscore.
This is why new keywords/types are named like _Noreturn, _Thread_local, etc.
