Sadly enuf, stdio has been thru a lot of changes. There was the early
versions, the portable i/o lib (-lp), ported copies back to v6, berkeley,
etc. Perhaps he captured a specific version he was used to, perhaps he
added his own features. Perhaps he should have altered the names or
changed them all to capitals. I myself have often wanted different features.
