Er, by "permission" I meant it doesn't make the _implementation_
non-compliant.

And implementation-defined is not the same as undefined.

may not rely on them defining anything else. Most of these identifiers
are reserved, and a strictly conforming program therefore cannot do
anything with them without including the header they are documented as
being defined in.
