As I understand, the idea is that Sean get little trying to fix 
posix standard: the only way to check if the code works on some 
platform is to compile and test it on that platform and posix 
standard doesn't change that. So various platforms ended up 
adding new functions to posix headers. Having straightforward 
translations of headers takes less thinking and probably helps 
migrate from C and doesn't change posix compliance of the headers 
- it remains conventional.
