(Raises hand) "I have. I have.". I really wish that more people would act
as if compilers still did this... there are some cases in the Amiga includes
where overloading of structure member names (like, Flags) gets confusing.
It's not often that I get sg_flags confused with st_mode, but do I use
Activation or IDCMPFlags here? (yeh, I know, bad example. *everyone* knows
what IDCMPFlags are for. But you get the idea, I hope).

Oh well, it could be worse. Anyone ever seen the Atari ST documentation? (no,
I'm not going to even bother with the IBM-PC's).
