I'm not sure I understand: are you suggesting to limit names of all
standard C++ header files and libraries to 8+3?  If so, this is not
the right place to suggest that: you need to talk the libg++
maintainers into making that change.  (I suspect that you will only
hear laughter in response...)

But if you can suggest a reasonable DJGPP-specific solution that would
reliably work, please do.  Nobody enjoys answering the FAQs about
stream~1.h here, we just didn't find any way of solving that better
than what's already in the docs and the FAQ.
