I think in this case doesn't matter because _brk and _argc are going
to be compound scope identifiers (or block scope or whatever you want
call them), so it is not a problem (you can shadow a file scope
identifier with a compound scope identifier), but I agree it is
better avoid this kind of cases. But then we should do the
same with the __ARG_H__ macro (I already complained about it,
but nobody wanted to listen me).
