+
+   "qxe" is a unique prefix used to identify encapsulations of standard
+   library functions.  We used to play pre-processing games but in
+   general this leads to nothing but trouble because someone first
+   encountering the code will have no idea that what appears to be a
+   call to a library function has actually been redefined to be a call
+   somewhere else.  This is doubly true when the redefinition occurs
+   in out-of-the way s+m files and only on certainly systems.
+
+   By making the encapsulation explicit we might be making the code
+   that uses is slightly less pretty, but this is more than compensated
+   for by the huge increase in clarity.
+
+   "Standard library function" can refer to any function in any
+   standard library.  If we are explicitly changing the semantics
+   (e.g. Mule-encapsulating), we should use an extended version of
+   the prefix, e.g. perhaps "qxe_xlat_" for functions that Mule-
+   encapsulate, or "qxe_retry_" for functions that automatically
+   retry a system call interrupted by EINTR.  In general, if there
+   is no prefix extension, it means the function is trying to
+   provide (more or less) the same semantics as the standard library
+   function; but be aware that the reimplementation may be incomplete
+   or differ in important respects.  This is especially the case
+   when attempts are made to implement Unix functions on MS Windows.
