As I understand it, the difference between c_std and c_global is 
supposed to be that c_std keeps the C library in std, whereas c_global 
has it in both std and the global namespace.  All the other differences 
that have arisen between them seem unintended and wrong.

There is, however, a question whether we need c_std at all now that the 
standard allows the C library to be in the global namespace as well.
