Feature Request for C

[Taylor Holberton]

Hello!

I would like to know if adding namespaces for the C language (as a gnu
extension) could be added in GCC.
Except instead of using c++ style mangling, it would simply just
prepend the name of the namespace to the symbols in the file.
For example:

_Namespace ncurses_
{

int savetty(void);

}

Would be exported as ncurses_savetty, and could be called outside of
the namespace as:

ncurses_savetty();

This would ease the maintenance of a lot of existing C projects that
use this kind of naming convention.
