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.
