BTW, if user includes <stdio.h> only, from all stdarg machinery
he gets *only* va_list. No va_start, va_arg, va_end...
I cannot imagine reasonable code which would need va_list and not
those macros. And if you try to compile any code with #include
<stdio.h> only and va_start() etc., you get link time error. Bingo.
We won't create any new problems, we just move link time error to
compile time. Is this reasonable argument for making those changes?
